You decide how long anyone will live. You have established the number of his months. You have set a limit to the number of his days.

People have to die once. After that, God will judge them.

A woman giving birth to a baby has pain. That’s because her time to give birth has come. But when her baby is born, she forgets the pain. She forgets because she is so happy that a baby has been born into the world.

But then the chosen time came. God sent his Son. A woman gave birth to him. He was born under the authority of the law.

Job continued,“ Don’t all human beings have to work hard on this earth? Aren’t their days like the days of hired workers?

“ At that time Moses was born. He was not an ordinary child. For three months he was taken care of by his family.

He gives children to the woman who doesn’t have any children. He makes her a happy mother in her own home. Praise the Lord.

If someone dies, will they live again? All the days of my hard work I will wait for the time when you give me new life.

In those days Hezekiah became very sick. He knew he was about to die. Isaiah went to see him. Isaiah was the son of Amoz. Isaiah told Hezekiah,“ The Lord says,‘ Put everything in order. Make out your will. You are going to die soon. You will not get well again.’ ”

“ Jerusalem, sing! You are now like a woman who never had a child. Burst into song! Shout for joy! You who have never had labor pains, you are now all alone. But you will have more children than a woman who still has a husband,” says the Lord.

The time came near for Israel to die. So he sent for his son Joseph. He said to him,“ If you are pleased with me, put your hand under my thigh. Promise me that you will be kind and faithful to me. Don’t bury me in Egypt.

The man cried out. He shouted a message from the Lord against the altar. He said,“ Altar! Altar! The Lord says,‘ A son named Josiah will be born into the royal family of David. Altar, listen to me! Josiah will sacrifice the priests of the high places on you. They will be the children of the priests who are offering sacrifices here. So human bones will be burned on you.’ ”

Your relative Elizabeth will have a child even though she is old. People thought she could not have children. But she has been pregnant for six months now.

“ You will hold a son in your arms,” Elisha said.“ It will be about this time next year.”“ No, my master!” she objected.“ You are a man of God. So please don’t lie to me!”

Suppose I announce that something will happen to a nation or kingdom. Suppose I announce that it will be pulled up by the roots. And I announce that it will be torn down and destroyed.But suppose the nation I warned turns away from its sins. Then I will not do what I said I would. I will not bring trouble on it as I had planned.But suppose I announce that a nation or kingdom is going to be built up and planted.And then it does what is evil in my eyes. It does not obey me. Then I will think again about the good things I had wanted to do for it.

At that time I made my appeal to the Lord. I said,“ Lord and King, you have begun to show me how great you are. You have shown me how strong your hand is. You do great works and mighty acts. There isn’t any god in heaven or on earth who can do what you do.Let me go across the Jordan River. Let me see the good land beyond it. I want to see that fine hill country and Lebanon.”But the Lord was angry with me because of what you did. He wouldn’t listen to me.“ That is enough!” the Lord said.“ Do not speak to me anymore about this matter.

Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in Moab. It happened just as the Lord had said.

Today I am appointing you to speak to nations and kingdoms. I give you authority to pull them up by the roots and tear them down. I give you authority to destroy them and crush them. I give you authority to build them up and plant them.”

The Son of Man will send out his angels. They will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin. They will also get rid of all who do evil.

And now you will have to be silent. You will not be able to speak until after John is born. That’s because you did not believe my words. They will come true at the time God has chosen.”

Jesus replied,“ They are plants that my Father in heaven has not planted. They will be pulled up by the roots.

He dug up the soil and removed its stones. He planted the very best vines in it. He built a lookout tower there. He also cut out a winepress for it. Then he kept looking for a crop of good grapes. But the vineyard produced only bad fruit.So the Lord said,“ People of Jerusalem and Judah, you be the judge between me and my vineyard.What more could I have done for my vineyard? I did everything I could. I kept looking for a crop of good grapes. So why did it produce only bad ones?Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard. I will take away its fence. And the vineyard will be destroyed. I will break down its wall. And people will walk all over my vineyard.

“‘ An enemy did this,’ he replied.“ The slaves asked him,‘ Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?’“‘ No,’ the owner answered.‘ While you are pulling up the weeds, you might pull up the wheat with them.

When he said this, they tried to arrest him. But no one laid a hand on him. The time for him to show who he really was had not yet come.

“ Aaron will join the members of his family who have already died. He will not enter the land I am giving to the Israelites. Both of you refused to obey my command. You did it at the waters of Meribah.So get Aaron and his son Eleazar. Take them up Mount Hor.Take Aaron’s official robes off of him. Put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will die on Mount Hor. He will join the members of his family who have already died.”Moses did just as the Lord had commanded. The three men went up Mount Hor while the whole community was watching.Moses took Aaron’s official robes off of him. He put them on Aaron’s son Eleazar. And Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

But the angel said to him,“ Do not be afraid, Zechariah. Your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will have a child. It will be a boy, and you must call him John.

The Lord was gracious to Sarah, just as he had said he would be. The Lord did for Sarah what he had promised to do.Sarah became pregnant. She had a son by Abraham when he was old. The child was born at the exact time God had promised.

Those who used to be full have to work for food. But those who used to be hungry aren’t hungry anymore. The woman who couldn’t have children has seven of them now. But the woman who has had many children is sad now because hers have died.

But here is what the Lord has told me to say to you, Baruch.‘ The Lord says,“ I will destroy what I have built up. I will pull up by the roots what I have planted. I will do this throughout the earth.

So God will destroy you forever. He will grab you and pluck you from your tent. He will remove you from this life.

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Go up this mountain in the Abarim Range. See the land I have given the Israelites.After you have seen it, you too will join the members of your family who have already died. You will die, just as your brother Aaron did.The community refused to obey me at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin. At that time, you and Aaron did not obey my command. You did not honor me in front of them as the holy God.”

“ In Egypt the number of our people grew and grew. It was nearly time for God to make his promise to Abraham come true.

But I will establish my covenant with Isaac. By this time next year, Sarah will have a son by you.”

“ Go and speak to Hezekiah. Tell him,‘ The Lord, the God of King David, says,“ I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. I will add 15 years to your life.
