To Everything There is a Season (Turn, Turn, Turn!)

Some readers may realize that the words of this classic song, popularized by The Byrds, are actually from the Bible. Play the video while you scan the lyrics below. It is a meditation appropriate for the Jewish New Year.

Ecclesiastes ch. 3:

א  לַכֹּל, זְמָן; וְעֵת לְכָל-חֵפֶץ, תַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם.	1  To everything                           (turn, turn, turn!) there is a season,                           (turn, turn, turn!) and a time to every purpose under heaven:
ב  עֵת לָלֶדֶת, וְעֵת לָמוּת; עֵת לָטַעַת, וְעֵת לַעֲקוֹר נָטוּעַ.	2  A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap;
ג  עֵת לַהֲרוֹג וְעֵת לִרְפּוֹא, עֵת לִפְרוֹץ וְעֵת לִבְנוֹת.	3  A time to kill, a time to heal; a time to break down, a time to build up;
ד  עֵת לִבְכּוֹת  וְעֵת לִשְׂחוֹק,  עֵת סְפוֹד  וְעֵת רְקוֹד.	4  A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
ה  עֵת לְהַשְׁלִיךְ אֲבָנִים, וְעֵת כְּנוֹס אֲבָנִים; עֵת לַחֲבוֹק - וְעֵת לִרְחֹק מֵחַבֵּק.	5  A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time you may embrace - a time to refrain from embracing;
ו  עֵת לְבַקֵּשׁ  וְעֵת לְאַבֵּד,  עֵת לִשְׁמוֹר  וְעֵת לְהַשְׁלִיךְ.	6 A time to gain, a time to lose; a time to keep, a time to toss;
ז  עֵת לִקְרוֹעַ וְעֵת לִתְפּוֹר, עֵת לַחֲשׁוֹת וְעֵת לְדַבֵּר.	7 A time to rend, a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
ח  עֵת לֶאֱהֹב וְעֵת לִשְׂנֹא, עֵת מִלְחָמָה וְעֵת שָׁלוֹם.	8 A time to love, a time to hate; a time for war, a time for peace. (I swear it's not too late...)
