'Time' in the Bible
There is an occasion for everything,and a time for every activity under heaven:
a time to give birth and a time to die;a time to plant and a time to uproot;
a time to kill and a time to heal;a time to tear down and a time to build;
a time to weep and a time to laugh;a time to mourn and a time to dance;
a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;a time to embrace and a time to avoid embracing;
a time to search and a time to count as lost;a time to keep and a time to throw away;
a time to tear and a time to sew;a time to be silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;a time for war and a time for peace.

Don’t be excessively wicked, and don’t be foolish. Why should you die before your time?
The one who keeps a command will not experience anything harmful, and a wise heart knows the right time and procedure.
For every activity there is a right time and procedure, even though man’s troubles are heavy on him.
All this I have seen, applying my mind to all the work that is done under the sun, at a time when one man has authority over another to his harm.
Let your clothes be white all the time, and never let oil be lacking on your head.
Again I saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, or the battle to the strong, or bread to the wise, or riches to the discerning, or favor to the skillful; rather, time and chance happen to all of them.
For man certainly does not know his time: like fish caught in a cruel net or like birds caught in a trap, so people are trapped in an evil time as it suddenly falls on them.
Blessed are you, land, when your king is a son of noblesand your princes feast at the proper time—for strength and not for drunkenness.
