"... to every purpose there is time and judgment..."

16  And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
17  I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work (deed). (Ecclesiastes 3:16-17)

and for every deed
: "that man did, they will judge him there when the time of the visitation arrives; there at that time, a time is given for every deed, to be judged for it. [The Rabbis say:] At the gate of the fold there are words (of bargaining), but in the stall (where the sheep are delivered) there is strict accounting (Shab. 32a)." (Rashi http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/16464/showrashi/true)


5  Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.
6  Because to every purpose (desire) there is time and judgment, therefore (when) the misery (evil) of man is great upon him. (Ecclesiastes 8:5-6)

For every desire has: "When a person executes his desire and transgresses the Law, there is a time to exact retribution upon him, and justice and punishment are ready."
 
when the evil of man is great upon him: "When the evil of man is great and his measure is heaped up, then his punishment arrives; כִּי is used as an expression of “when,” like (Exod. 18:16): “Whenever (כִּי) they have a concern, it comes to me.” (Rashi http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/16469/showrashi/true)


6  When they therefore were come together, they asked of Him, saying, Lord, wilt Thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7  And He said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in His own power.
8  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:6-8)

"Whoever tries to force his [good] fortune will be dogged by [ill] fortune..." (Lit., 'whoever pushes his hour will be pushed by his hour' -
(Talmud, Brakhot 64a http://www.come-and-hear.com/berakoth/berakoth_64.html)
