עֵ֤ת לַהֲרוֹג֙ וְעֵ֣ת לִרְפּ֔וֹא עֵ֥ת לִפְר֖וֹץ וְעֵ֥ת לִבְנֽוֹת׃
Eine Zeit für das Erschlagen und für das Heilen, eine Zeit für das Einreißen und für das Aufbauen.

A time to kill. An entire nation, when the day of its visitation comes, as it is stated, “and he will slay your remnant [with the sword].”3Yeshayahu 14:30.

“A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to breach, and a time to build” (Ecclesiastes 3:3).
“A time to kill,” in wartime, “and a time to heal,” in peacetime; “a time to breach,” in wartime, “and a time to build,” in peacetime.
“A time to kill,” in wartime, “and a time to heal,” in peacetime; “a time to breach,” in wartime, “and a time to build,” in peacetime.
