Ecclesiastes
Chapter 7
10
Say not, "Why were the former days better than these?" For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
11
Wisdom is good with an inheritance, an advantage to those who see the sun.
12
For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.
13
Consider the work of God: who can make straight what he has made crooked?
14
In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him.
Ninaamarie's Note
Apr 16
11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing
and benefits those who see the sun.
12 Wisdom is a shelter
as money is a shelter,
but the advantage of knowledge is this:
Wisdom preserves those who have it.
13 Consider what God has done:
Who can straighten
what he has made crooked?
14 When times are good, be happy;
but when times are bad, consider this:
God has made the one
as well as the other.
Therefore, no one can discover
anything about their future.
