Bible Reading - Ecclesiastes 3 (Short)

This is a popular funeral reading taken from The Bible - Ecclesiates 3

To everything there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under 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 kill and a time to heal;
a time to break down and a time to build up.

A time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance.

A time to get and a time to lose;
a time to keep and a time to cast away.

A time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak.

A time to love and a time to hate;
a time of war, and a time of peace
