Berean Standard Bible
Ecclesiastes 7:13
“Consider the work of God: Who can straighten what He has bent?”
In context
11Wisdom, like an inheritance, is good, and it benefits those who see the sun.
12For wisdom, like money, is a shelter, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
13Consider the work of God: Who can straighten what He has bent?
14In the day of prosperity, be joyful, but in the day of adversity, consider this: God has made one of these along with the other, so that a man cannot discover anything that will come after him.
15In my futile life I have seen both of these: A righteous man perishing in his righteousness, and a wicked man living long in his wickedness.
