Ecclesiastes 3:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ There is a time to weep.
    And there’s a time to laugh.
There is a time to be sad.
    And there’s a time to dance.
⁵ There is a time to scatter stones.
    And there’s a time to gather them.
There is a time to embrace someone.
    And there’s a time not to embrace.
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.
