13. Consider the work of God;For who can make straight what He has made crooked?
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Do not be overly righteous,Nor be overly wise:Why should you destroy yourself?
17. Do not be overly wicked,Nor be foolish:Why should you die before your time?
18. 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.
