A time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace” (Ecclesiastes 3:8).
“A time to love,” in peacetime, “and a time to hate,” in wartime; “a time for war,” in wartime, “and a time for peace,” in peacetime.

Rabbi Yehoshua of Sikhnin interpreted the verses regarding Israel. “A time to be born and a time to die” – the Holy One blessed be He said: For a brief time I was the midwife for My children, as it is written: “As for your birth, on the day you were born” (Ezekiel 16:4).²⁶The verse quoted is followed by verses in which God describes Israel as an abandoned, bloodied baby, whom He cared for and nursed to health. This is a parable for God saving Israel from Egypt. “And a time to die,” as it is written: “In this wilderness they will expire and there they will die (Numbers 14:35). “No man was left of them, except Caleb son of Yefuneh, and Joshua son of Nun” (Numbers 26:65).
“A time to plant,” as it is stated: “I will plant them on their land” (Amos 9:15), “and a time to uproot that which is planted,” as it is written: “The Lord uprooted them from upon their land” (Deuteronomy 29:27). “A time to kill,” as it is written: “He killed all who delighted the eye” (Lamentations 2:4), “and a time to heal,” as it is written: “Behold, I am bringing it a remedy and cure” (Jeremiah 33:6). “A time to breach,” as it is written: “Each woman would depart through the breaches” (Amos 4:3), “and a time to build,” as it is written: “I will build it as in the days of old” (Amos 9:11). “A time to weep,” as it is written: “She will weep at night” (Lamentations 1:2), “and a time to laugh,” as it is written: “Then our mouths will be filled with laughter” (Psalms 126:2). “A time to mourn,” as it is written: “The Lord God of hosts declared that day for weeping and lamentation” (Isaiah 22:12), “and a time to dance,” as it is written: “The squares of the city will be filled [with boys and girls playing in its squares]” (Zechariah 8:5). “A time to cast stones,” as it is written: “The sacred stones are spilled” (Lamentations 4:1), “and a time to gather stones,” as it is written: “Behold, I am laying a stone foundation in Zion” (Isaiah 28:16). “A time to embrace,” as it is stated: “And his right hand embraces me” (Song of Songs 2:6), “and a time to refrain from embrace,” as it is stated: “The Lord will banish man” (Isaiah 6:12).
“A time to seek,” as it is written: “From there you will seek the Lord your God” (Deuteronomy 4:29), “and a time to lose,” as it is written: “Beware, lest your heart be seduced…you will be swiftly eradicated” (Deuteronomy 11:16–17). “A time to keep [lishmor],” as it is written: “Behold, the Keeper [Shomer] of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps” (Psalms 121:4), “and a time to discard,” as it is written: “He cast them to another land” (Deuteronomy 29:27). “A time to rend,” as it is written: “The Lord has rent the kingdom of Israel” (I Samuel 15:28), “and a time to sew,” as it is written: “They will become one in your hand” (Ezekiel 37:17). “A time to be silent,” as it is written: “I have kept silent for a long time” (Isaiah 42:14), “and a time to speak,” as it is written: “Speak to the heart of Jerusalem” (Isaiah 40:2). “A time to love,” as it is written: “I have loved you, said the Lord” (Malachi 1:2), “and a time to hate,” as it is written: “She raised her voice against me; therefore I hated her” (Jeremiah 12:8). “A time for war,” as it is written: “He was transformed into their enemy” (Isaiah 63:10), “and a time for peace,” as it is written: “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river” (Isaiah 66:12).

R. Nachman said to R. Isaac: "Have you heard when the fallen son will come?" He was asked, "Who is the fallen son?" "Meshiah," answered R. Nachman. "And the Messiah, you call the fallen son?" And he answered: "Yes, for it is written (Amos 9, 11) On that day will I raise up (Fol. 97) the tabernacle of David, which is fallen." R. Isaac answered: "Thus said R. Jochanan: 'In the generation in which the son of David will come scholarly men will decerase, and the eyes of the remainder will protrude from sighing and sorrow; many chastisements and many evil decrees will be renewed; one will not have ceased, when another will have come'." Our Rabbis were taught: the Sabbatical period in which the son of David will appear there will be fulfilled in the first year the following passage (Am. 4, 7) And I caused it to rain upon one city, and upon another city I caused it not to rain. In the second year, slight famine will be sent. In the third, a great famine from which men, women and children, pious men and saints will die, and the Torah will be forgotten by the scholars. In the fourth, there will be partly abundance, and partly scarcity. In the fifth there will be great abundance, and the people will eat, drink, and enjoy themselves, and the Torah will return to her scholars. In the sixth, rumors will be heard saying that the Messiah is near. In the seventh, there will be war, and at the end of the seventh, ben David will come. "Were there not many Sabbatical periods," R. Joseph remarked, "which were like this, and still he did not come?" Abaye said: "Was it then as mentioned that rumors were heard in the sixth, and war in the seventh? And secondly, has it then happened in the same order as stated above?" It has been taught in a Baraitha that R. Juda said: "In the generation in which ben David will come, the school houses will be converted into debauchery. Galilee will be destroyed. The place called Gablan will be demolished. The Galileans will travel from one city to another, but will find no grace. The wisdom of the scribes will be corrupted. Men fearing sin will be hated. The leaders of that generation will have the nature of dogs. And the truth will be lacking as it is said (Is. 59, 15) And thus is the truth missing." What does the expression 'Ne'edereth mean? It was said in the college, they will form into various groups and disappear (Ib.) And he that departeth from evil is regarded as foolish. At the school of Shilah it was explained thus: "He who turns away from evil is regarded as foolish, in the eyes of the people."
