A time to seek, And a time to destroy. A time to keep, And a time to cast away.Ecclesiastes 3:6 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleA time to get, - to lose, - to keep, - to cast away -
- "Commerce produces wealth,
Whilst time of gaining lasts; from every point
Blow prosperous gales. Now heaven begins to lower,
And all our hopes are blasted. Prudence bids,
One while, our treasure to reserve, and then
With liberal hand to scatter wide. How oft
In raging storms, the owner wisely casts
Into the deep his precious merchandise,
To save the foundering bark!
