Holy Scripture
Job 22:16
A church father on this verse
“Which were taken away before their time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood. Whereas the period of our life is assuredly foreordained for us in the foreknowledge of God, it is a very important question on what principle it is said now, that the wicked are withdrawn from the present world 'before their time.'…”
