Ecclesiastes 7:13

Humans Must Accept God's Will And Make The Best Of It

¹² because wisdom is protection as money is protection,

is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.

for who can straighten out
what He has made crooked? ¹⁴ In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity, consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man cannot discover anything that will come after him.
