Ecclesiastes 3:8
A time to love, - hate, - of war, - of peace -
"Love turns to hatred; interest or caprice
Dissolves the firmest knot by friendship tied.
O' er rival nations, with revenge inflamed,
Or lust of power, fell Discord shakes awhile
Her baleful torch: now smiling Peace returns."
The above paraphrase on the verses cited contains a general view of the principal occurrences of time, in reference to the human being, from his cradle to his grave, through all the operations of life.
