Ecclesiastes 3:4

GriefJoy

2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to break down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

6 a time to search and a time to count as lost, a time to keep and a time to discard,

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
