      a time to be born, and a time to die;

      a time to kill, and a time to heal;
      a time to break down, and a time to build up;
      a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
      a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
      a time throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
      a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
      a time to seek, and a time to lose;
      a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
      a time to tear, and a time to sew;
      a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
      a time to love, and a time to hate;
      a time for war, and a time for peace."

"Thus says God, the Lord,
who created the heavens and streched them out,
who spread out the earth and what comes from it,
who gives breath to the people upon it and spirit to those who walk in it :
      I am the Lord, I have called you in righteousness,
      I have taken you by the hand and kept you;
      I have given you as a covenant to the people,
      a light to the nations,
      to open the eyes that are blind,
      to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
      from the prison those who sit in darkness.
