  • Ecclesiastes 7:14-18
    In the day of prosperity be joyful,
    But in the day of adversity consider:
    Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other,
    So that man can find out nothing that will come after him. I have seen everything in my days of vanity:
    There is a just man who perishes in his righteousness,
    And there is a wicked man who prolongs life in his wickedness.
    Do not be overly righteous,
    Nor be overly wise:
    Why should you destroy yourself?
    Do not be overly wicked,
    Nor be foolish:
    Why should you die before your time?
    It is good that you grasp this,
    And also not remove your hand from the other;
    For he who fears God will escape them all.
