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.
| << Ecclesiastes 7:13 | Ecclesiastes 7:15 >> |
