Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Eccl 3:6

“A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away.”

“time to get--for example, to gain honestly a livelihood (Eph 4:23). lose--When God wills losses to us, then is our time to be content. keep--not to give to the idle beggar (Th2 3:10). cast away--in charity (Pro 11:24); or to part with the dearest object, rather than the soul (Mar 9:43). To be careful is right in its place, but not when it comes between us and Jesus Christ (Luk 10:40-42).”
