Ecclesiastes 7:13
Compare all
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance,
And profitable ato those who see the sun. 
12 For wisdom is1 a adefense as money is a defense,
But the1 excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives blife to those who have it. 
13 Consider the work of God;
For awho can make straight what He has made crooked? 
14 aIn the day of prosperity be joyful,
But in the day of adversity consider:
Surely God has appointed the one1 as well as the other,
So that man can find out nothing that will come after him.  
15 I have seen everything in my days of vanity:
aThere is a just man who perishes in his righteousness,
And there is a wicked man who prolongs life in his wickedness. 
16 aDo not be overly righteous,
bNor be overly wise:
Why should you destroy yourself?
