Eccl 3:5 · Douay-Rheims
“A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.”
On this verse:
“Stones, with a sling, or to render a field useless, 4 Kings iii. 25., and Isaias v. 2. — Embraces. Continence was sometimes prescribed to married people, Leviticus xx. 18., and 1 Corinthians vii. (St. Jerome) (St. Augustine, Enchiridion 78.) (Calmet) — Hatred often succeeds love, ver. 8., and 2 Kings xiii. 14. (Haydock)”
