Ecclesiastes 9:11

Motløshet og depresjon Guds vilje og kall Visdom

¹² For surely no man knows his time: Like fish caught in a cruel net or birds trapped in a snare, so men are ensnared in an evil time that suddenly falls upon them.

¹³ I have also seen this wisdom under the sun, and it was great to me:
