Ecclesiastes 7:14

A Truth For Every Situation

¹³ Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he has made crooked? ¹⁴ In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also has set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing that will come after him. ¹⁵ All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongs his life in his wickedness.
