Ecclesiastes 3:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ There is a time to look for something
    and a time to stop looking for it.
There is a time to keep things
    and a time to throw things away.
⁷ There is a time to tear apart
    and a time to sew together.
There is a time to be silent
    and a time to speak.
⁸ There is a time to love
    and a time to hate.
There is a time for war
    and a time for peace.
