Ecclesiastes 3:6
_ _ time to get — for example, to gain honestly a livelihood (Ephesians 4:23).
_ _ lose — When God wills losses to us, then is our time to be content.
_ _ keep — not to give to the idle beggar (2 Thessalonians 3:10).
_ _ cast away — in charity (Proverbs 11:24); or to part with the dearest object, rather than the soul (Mark 9:43). To be careful is right in its place, but not when it comes between us and Jesus Christ (Luke 10:40-42). |
Ecclesiastes 3:6
To life — When men lose their estates, either by God's providence, or by their own choice. To cast away — When a man casts away his goods voluntarily, as in a storm, to save his life, or out of love and obedience to God. |
