Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
