Ecclesiastes 9:12
12For man adoes not know his time. Like fish that are taken in an evil net, and blike birds that are caught in a snare, so the children of man are csnared at an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them.Isaiah 37:3
3They said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah, ‘This day is a dday of distress, of rebuke, and of disgrace; echildren have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to bring them forth.Micah 2:3
3Therefore thus says the Lord:behold, against fthis family I am devising disaster, ▼
▼The same Hebrew word can mean evil or disaster, depending on the context
from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you hshall not walk haughtily,
ifor it will be a time of disaster.
Habakkuk 3:16
16 jI hear, and kmy body trembles;my lips quiver at the sound;
lrottenness enters into my bones;
my legs tremble beneath me.
Yet mI will quietly wait for the day of trouble
to come upon people who invade us.
Zephaniah 2:2-3
2 nbefore the decree takes effect ▼▼Hebrew gives birth
—before the day passes away plike chaff—
qbefore there comes upon you
the burning anger of the Lord,
before there comes upon you
the day of the anger of the Lord.
3 rSeek the Lord, sall you humble of the land,
who do his just commands; ▼
▼Or who carry out his judgment
useek righteousness; seek humility;
vperhaps wyou may be hidden
on the day of the anger of the Lord.
Ephesians 5:15-16
15 xLook carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 ymaking the best use of the time, because zthe days are evil.Ephesians 6:13
