Ecclesiastes 7:17

²⁷The fear of the LORD prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

²³But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.

¹⁶who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,

²³Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.

¹⁰She fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

⁵Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.

³⁸About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.

³²It will be accomplished before his time. His branch will not be green. ³³He will shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and will cast off his flower as the olive tree.

⁷Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight. So the LORD killed him. ⁸Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.” ⁹Onan knew that the offspring wouldn’t be his; and when he went in to his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother. ¹⁰The thing which he did was evil in the LORD’s sight, and he killed him also.

²¹Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
