He knoweth

For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few years of his futile life? He will spend them like a shadow. For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

Moreover, man does not know his time: like fish caught in a treacherous net and birds trapped in a snare, so the sons of men are ensnared at an evil time when it suddenly falls on them.

Yet the fool multiplies words. No man knows what will happen, and who can tell him what will come after him?

For their calamity will rise suddenly,
And who knows the ruin that comes from both of them?

A man who hardens his neck after much reproof
Will suddenly be broken beyond remedy.

For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.

But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’

Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.
