But the1 excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives blife to those who have it.
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.
aThere is a just man who perishes in his righteousness,
And there is a wicked man who prolongs life in his wickedness.
And also not remove your hand from the other;
For he who afears God will escape them all.

Ecclesiastes 7:14
In the day of prosperity be joyful - When ye receive these temporal gifts from God, enjoy them, and be thankful to the Giver: but remember, this sunshine will not always last. God has balanced prosperity and adversity against each other; and were it not so, how many would put the former in the place of God himself!
