Ecclesiastes 3:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ There is a time to search.
    And there’s a time to stop searching.
There is a time to keep.
    And there’s a time to throw away.
⁷ There is a time to tear.
    And there’s a time to mend.
There is a time to be silent.
    And there’s a time to speak.
⁸ There is a time to love.
    And there’s a time to hate.
There is a time for war.
    And there’s a time for peace.
