39. God Will Set Matters Right—When David heard the tidings of the death of Nabal, he gave thanks that God had taken vengeance into His own hands. He had been restrained from evil, and the Lord had returned the wickedness of the wicked upon his own head. In this dealing of God with Nabal and David, men may be encouraged to put their cases into the hands of God; for in His own good time He will set matters right (The Signs of the Times, October 26, 1888).{2BC 1022.2}

39. Gud vil sætte tingene rigtigt - Da David hørte nyhederne om Nabals død, takkede han Gud for at have taget hævnen i Sine egne hænder. Han var blevet holdt tilbage fra ondt, og Herren havde vendt de ondes ondskab til sit eget hoved. Den måde Gud behandlede Nabal og David på, kan mennesker opmuntres til at lægge deres sager i Guds hænder; for på Hans eget gode tidspunkt vil Han sætte sagerne rigtigt (ST, 26. okt, 1888).
