A Time for Everything

3 For everything there is a season, and ^(A)a time for every matter under heaven:

¹⁷ I said in my heart, ^(A)God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is ^(B)a time for every matter and for every work.

³ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ ^(A)You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret ^(B)the signs of the times.

⁵ Whoever keeps a command will know no evil thing, and the wise heart will know the proper time and the just way.^{[a] 6} For there is a time and a way ^(A)for everything, although man's trouble^[b] lies heavy on him.

^14 (A)In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, ^(B)so that man may not find out anything that will be after him.
