King James Version

Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?(Ecclesiastes 7:13)
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.(Ecclesiastes 7:14)
All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ?(Ecclesiastes 7:16)
Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?(Ecclesiastes 7:17)
It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.(Ecclesiastes 7:18)
