Ecclesiastes 7:13 in context

  1. 11Wisdom is as good as an inheritance; yea, more excellent is it for them that see the sun.
  2. 12For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath it.
  3. 13Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?
  4. 14In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yea, God hath made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything that shall be after him.
  5. 15All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his evil-doing.
