Shoah

For everything its season,
and for every activity under heaven its time:
a time to be born 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 break down and a time to build up;

a time to weep and a time to laugh;

a time for mourning and a time for dancing;

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them;

a time to embrace and a time to abstain from embracing;

a time to seek and a time to lose;

a time to keep and a time to discard;
a time to tear and a time to mend;

a time for silence and a time for speech;

a time to love and a time to hate;

a time for war and a time for peace.
— Ecclesiastes 3, 1-8
