Bible Verses About Afflictions: God dispenses, as He will

If He pass on, and shut up, and assemble, Who then dost reverse it?

--Doth the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Doth the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not wood!

Forming light, and preparing darkness, Making peace, and preparing evil, I am Jehovah, doing all these things.'
