Which Bible verse says 'And this too shall pass'?

Answer 1

I can't find where Solomon said this, but Amos said a similar thing when God began to punish his people by sending grasshoppers to eat up all their produce; and again when He began to send a consuming fire. Amos pleaded with God to forgive Israel, and God said:

"It shall not be." and again; "This also shall not be." (Amos.7.1-6)

Answer 2

I don't see the phrase as stated in The Bible. You'll have to look in a King James Version, I think. Or maybe Ryrie. The closest I've found is in Luke 21:7, 36.

addition:

From what I know this is said in a well known Muslim sufi story and was mentioned in Persian poetry (Persia was what's called now Iran and parts of Afghanistan ) ..

The story goes:

There was a king. He was distraught due to his wavering emotions - he experienced highs and lows with such frequency that he became terribly agitated. He asked his royal advisors to prepare for him some device that could even out his temperament - but for days they were puzzled and could not meet their king's request. Finally a group of Sufis(Muslim mystics) came before the king and gave him a ring - instantly the king knew that his days of suffering were at an end. The ring bore an inscription that would sober him in times of glee and relieve him in times of distress - the inscription read "This too shall pass".

Hope that answers your question :)

Answer 3

The exact quote does not appear in the Bible. Most say that it is a paraphrase of teachings from the Bible (what isn't?).

When specific sections are sited some say it is from Corinthians I and some say it is from Ecclesiastes.

Answer 4

there is not a bible verse that says this specifically.

Answer 5

In the King James version

the phrase - this too shall pass - with, or without punctuation, does not appear at all.

Answer 6

The saying, "This (too) shall pass" (implying that hardships or troubles are temporary) does not originate from the Bible word for word.

Answer 7

While the maxim, "and this too shall pass" has its basis in biblical teaching, there is no Bible verse containing the phrase word-for-word.

Answer 8

The expression "This too shall pass away" is not from the Bible. Abraham Lincoln credits the wise men of some "Eastern monarch" with having originated it.
