Ecclesiastes3:6
6. time to get--for example, to gain honestly a livelihood (Ep 4:23).
lose--When God wills losses to us, then is our time to be content.
keep--not to give to the idle beggar (2Th 3:10).
cast away--in charity (Pr 11:24); or to part with the dearest object, rather than the soul (Mr 9:43). To be careful is right in its place, but not when it comes between us and Jesus Christ (Lu 10:40-42).
