'Matter' in the Bible

For everything there [is] an appointed time, a time for every matter under heaven:

The end of a matter [is] better than its beginning; {better to be slow to anger than hot-headed}.

Do not be terrified of his presence! Go at once and do not delay when a matter [is] unpleasant, for he can do anything that he desires.

For there is a [proper] time and right [procedure] for every matter, even though the trouble of man [weighs] heavy upon him.
