Back to passage

In his pain Manasseh asked the LORD his God for mercy and truly humbled himself before the God of his ancestors.

I thought to myself,“God will judge both the righteous and the wicked; for there is an appropriate time for every activity, and there is a time of judgment for every deed.

Whoever obeys his command will not experience harm, and a wise person knows the proper time and procedure.

There at home they will say,‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is just a big noise! He has let the most opportune moment pass by.’
