"To every thing there is a season,

and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

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

A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to love, and a time to hate;

A time of war, and a time of peace

What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?"

Ecclesiastes III vv1-2; 8-9
