'Course' in the Bible
So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the Lord of the fruit of the ground.
Now it came about in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry for help because of their bondage rose up to God.
Now it came about in the course of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels came out because of his sickness and he died in great pain. And his people made no fire for him like the fire for his fathers.
“The paths of their course wind along,They go up into nothing and perish.
When He set a limit for the rainAnd a course for the thunderbolt,
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
Then you will discern righteousness and justiceAnd equity and every good course.
Come, my people, enter into your roomsAnd close your doors behind you;Hide for a little whileUntil indignation runs its course.
“I have listened and heard,They have spoken what is not right;No man repented of his wickedness,Saying, ‘What have I done?’Everyone turned to his course,Like a horse charging into the battle.
For the land is full of adulterers;For the land mourns because of the curse.The pastures of the wilderness have dried up.Their course also is evilAnd their might is not right.
“In the latter period of their rule,When the transgressors have run their course,A king will arise,Insolent and skilled in intrigue.
