a time to break down, and a time to build up;
 4a time to fweep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to gdance;
 5a time to hcast away stones, and a time to igather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to jrefrain from embracing;
 6a time to seek, and a time to klose;
a time to keep, and a time to lcast away;

a time to nkeep silence, and a time to speak;
 8a time to love, and a time to ohate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
