How is “ripe” used in the scriptures?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The end comes when, and only when, ‘the time is ripe,’ when ‘the harvest is ripe’; when the people are ‘ripe in iniquity.’ … Fruit is fully ripe at that moment when further ripening would not mean improvement but only deterioration” (Nibley on the Timely and the Timeless, 294).
