A good saying that people have is that it is Gods will. But I say we do foolish things. that cause our lives to be shortened like. Drugs, Cigarettes,
Liquor, Sex, abortions, Murderers, Liar, doing those things that are against Gods law.we pay the price, sometimes Death. When you are young you do foolish things and you pay for it later. Weeping what you so. People should stop blaming things on God. Mother/Father/Sister/Brothers/ Babies. Remember Sometimes our Generation and be affected. Remember The Jews wondered in the Wilderness for 40 years some were children that suffered for their Mothers and Fathers actions.

Verse 17 is right because every person has time for birth and time to die. Thanks, God bless you.
