Ecclesiastes 7:14 Context
12For wisedome is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellencie of knowledge is, that wisedome giueth life to them that haue it. 13Consider the worke of God: for who can make that straight, which hee hath made crooked? 14In the day of prosperitie be ioyfull, but in the day of aduersitie consider: God also hath set the one ouer against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. 15All things haue I seene in the dayes of my vanitie: there is a iust man that perisheth in his righteousnes, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickednes. 16Be not righteous ouer much, neither make thy selfe ouer wise: why shouldest thou destroy thy selfe?
