To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven
凡事都有定期，天下萬務都有定時。
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up
that which is planted
生有時，死有時。栽種有時，拔出所栽種的也有時。
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build
up
殺戮有時，醫治有時。拆毀有時，建造有時。
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance
哭有時，笑有時。哀慟有時，跳舞有時。
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to
embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing
拋擲石頭有時，堆聚石頭有時。懷抱有時，不懷抱有時。
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away
尋找有時，失落有時。保守有時，捨棄有時。
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak
撕裂有時，縫補有時。靜默有時，言語有時。
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace
喜愛有時，恨惡有時。爭戰有時，和好有時。
Ecclesiastes 傳道書 3:1-8
