Ecclesiastes 7:13


Ecclesiastes 7:12 Ecclesiastes 7:13 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 7:14
For wisdom [is] a defence, [and] money [is] a defence: but the excellency of knowledge [is, that] wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
Consider the work of God: for who can make [that] straight, which he hath made crooked?
In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
