A person finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word!
-
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.
-
Sluggards do not plow in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing.
-
Saying 25
If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!
-
for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.
-
Like a snow-cooled drink at harvest time is a trustworthy messenger to the one who sends him; he refreshes the spirit of his master.
-
Like a broken tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.
-
Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time.
-
A Time for Everything
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
-
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
-
a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
-
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
-
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
-
a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
-
a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
-
a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
-
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
-
I said to myself, “God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.”
-
When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future.
-
Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool— why die before your time?
-
for you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.
-
Whoever obeys his command will come to no harm, and the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure.
-
For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a person may be weighed down by misery.
-
As no one has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has power over the time of their death. As no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.
-
All this I saw, as I applied my mind to everything done under the sun. There is a time when a man lords it over others to his own hurt.
