Ecclesiastes 7:12-14
International Standard Version
12 Indeed, wisdom gives protection,[a] just like money does,
but it’s better to know that wisdom gives life,
to those who have mastered[b] it.
The Works of God
13 Consider the work of God:
Who is able to straighten
what he has bent?
14 When times are good, be joyful;
when times are bad, consider this:
God made the one as well as the other,
so people won’t seek anything outside of his best.
