(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
A time to kill, - heal, - break down, - build up -
“The healing art, when out of season used,
Pernicious proves, and serves to hasten death.
But timely medicines drooping nature raise,
And health restore - Now, Justice wields her sword
With wholesome rigour, nor the offender spares:
But Mercy now is more expedient found.
On crazy fabrics ill-timed cost bestow’d
No purpose answers, when discretion bids
To pull them down, and wait a season fit
To build anew.”
