Ecclesiastes 7:10-14

Do not say, “Why is it that the former days were better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.

Wisdom along with an inheritance is good, And an advantage to those who see the sun.

For wisdom is protection just as money is protection, But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom keeps its possessors alive.

Consider the work of God, For who is able to straighten what He has bent?

On the day of prosperity be happy, But on the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other So that a person will not discover anything that will come after him.
