Eccl 3:4 · Douay-Rheims
“A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.”
On this verse:
“mourn--namely, for the dead (Gen 23:2). dance--as David before the ark (Sa2 6:12-14; Psa 30:11); spiritually (Mat 9:15; Luk 6:21; Luk 15:25). The Pharisees, by requiring sadness out of time, erred seriously.”
