Ecclesiastes 3
To the legacy of Her Late Majesty Elizabeth II
Ecclesiastes 3
3 For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:2 a time to be born,and a time to die;a time to plant,and a time to pluck up that which is planted;3 a time to kill,and a time to heal;a time to break down,and a time to build up;4 a time to weep,and a time to laugh;a time to mourn,and a time to dance;5 a time to cast away stones,and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace,and a time to refrain from embracing;6 a time to seek,and a time to lose;a time to keep,and a time to cast away;7 a time to tear,and a time to sew;a time to keep silence,and a time to speak;8 a time to love,and a time to hate;a time for war,
I first encountered Ecclesiastes 3 as a reading used during a service of remembrance for Her Late
Majesty Elizabeth II. It is, I think, scripture which captures the great duality of our modern world.
