Job 38:23
Which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and
battle?
Eccl 3:1-17
Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season
for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a
time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and
a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a
time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time
to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and
a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and
a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a
time for peace.
9 What does the worker gain from his toil?
10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men.
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also
set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done
from beginning to end.
12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be
happy and do good while they live.
13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in
all his toil—this is the gift of God.
14 I know that everything God does will endure forever;
nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men
will revere him.
15 Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been
before; and God will call the past to account.
16 And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of
judgment—wickedness was there, in the place of justice—wickedness was there.
17 I thought in my heart, “God will bring to judgment both
the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a
time for every deed.”
Ecclesiastes 7:17
Do not be over wicked, and do not be a fool— why die before
your time?
