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. ‡

19 ^aWisdom strengthens the wise
More than ten rulers of the city. ‡

20 ^aFor there is not a just man on earth who does good
And does not sin. ‡
