和合本：16 來攻擊他的，必任意而行，無人在北方王面前站立得住。他必站在那榮美之地，用手施行毀滅。 17 「他必定意用全國之力而來，立公正的約，照約而行，將自己的女兒給南方王為妻，想要敗壞他，這計卻不得成就，與自己毫無益處。 18 其後他必轉回奪取了許多海島。但有一大帥，除掉他令人受的羞辱，並且使這羞辱歸他本身。 19 他就必轉向本地的保障，卻要絆跌仆倒，歸於無有。 20 「那時，必有一人興起接續他為王，使橫征暴斂的人通行國中的榮美地。這王不多日就必滅亡，卻不因忿怒，也不因爭戰。」 21 「必有一個卑鄙的人興起接續為王，人未曾將國的尊榮給他，他卻趁人坦然無備的時候，用諂媚的話得國。 22 必有無數的軍兵勢如洪水，在他面前沖沒敗壞；同盟的君也必如此。 23 與那君結盟之後，他必行詭詐，因為他必上來以微小的軍成為強盛。 24 趁人坦然無備的時候，他必來到國中極肥美之地，行他列祖和他列祖之祖所未曾行的，將擄物、掠物，和財寶散給眾人，又要設計攻打保障，然而這都是暫時的。 25 「他必奮勇向前，率領大軍攻擊南方王；南方王也必以極大極強的軍兵與他爭戰，卻站立不住，因為有人設計謀害南方王。 26 吃王膳的，必敗壞他；他的軍隊必被沖沒，而且被殺的甚多。 27 至於這二王，他們心懷惡計，同席說謊，[計謀]卻不成就；因為到了定期，事就了結。 28 北方王必帶許多財寶回往本國，他的心反對聖約，[任意]而…

和合本：1 凡事都有定期， 天下萬務都有定時。 2 生有時，死有時； 栽種有時，拔出所栽種的也有時； 3 殺戮有時，醫治有時； 拆毀有時，建造有時； 4 哭有時，笑有時； 哀慟有時，跳舞有時； 5 拋擲石頭有時，堆聚石頭有時； 懷抱有時，不懷抱有時； 6 尋找有時，失落有時； 保守有時，捨棄有時； 7 撕裂有時，縫補有時； 靜默有時，言語有時； 8 喜愛有時，恨惡有時； 爭戰有時，和好有時。 9 [這樣看來]，做事的人在他的勞碌上有甚麼益處呢？ 10 我見上帝叫世人勞苦，使他們在其中受經練。 11 上帝造萬物，各按其時成為美好，又將永生安置在世人心裏。然而上帝從始至終的作為，人不能參透。 12 我知道世人，莫強如終身喜樂行善； 13 並且人人吃喝，在他一切勞碌中享福，這也是上帝的恩賜。 14 我知道上帝一切所做的都必永存；無所增添，無所減少。上帝這樣行，是要人在他面前存敬畏的心。 15 現今的事早先就有了，將來的事早已也有了，並且上帝使已過的事重新再來。 BSB: 1 To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a ti…

I. When to awake: Now it is high time to awake (Rom 13:11), to awake out of the sleep of sin (for a sinful condition is a sleeping condition), out of the sleep of carnal security, sloth and negligence, out of the sleep of spiritual death, and out of the sleep of spiritual deadness; both the wise and foolish virgins slumbered and slept, Mat 25:5. We have need to be often excited and stirred up to awake. The word of command to all Christ's disciples is, Watch. "Awake - be concerned about your souls and your eternal interest; take heed of sin, be ready to, and serious in, that which is good, and …

Sometime. sum'-tim: In modern English means "occasionally," and is so used in Sirach 37:14 for eniote. Otherwise the word means "at some past time," and is the translation of pote. the Revised Version (British and American) changes to "aforetime" in The Wisdom of Solomon 5:3; 1Pe 3:20; to "once" in Eph 2:13; 5:8; to "in time past" in Col 1:21; while in Col 3:7 the English Revised Version has "aforetime," the American Standard Revised Version "once." the King James Version does not distinguish between "sometime" and "sometimes."

和合本：36 他們將王的諭旨交給王所派的總督與河西的省長，他們就幫助百姓，又供給上帝殿裏所需用的。 BSB: 36 They also delivered the king’s edicts to the royal satraps and governors of the region west of the Euphrates, who proceeded to assist the people and the house of God.

II. The proof and illustration of it by the induction of particulars, twenty-eight in number, according to the days of the moon's revolution, which is always increasing or decreasing between its full and change. Some of these changes are purely the act of God, others depend more upon the will of man, but all are determined by the divine counsel. Every thing under heaven is thus changeable, but in heaven there is an unchangeable state, and an unchangeable counsel concerning these things. 1. There is a time to be born and a time to die. These are determined by the divine counsel; and, as we were…
