Ecclesiastes 7:14-16
New International Reader's Version
14 When times are good, be happy.
But when times are bad, here’s something to think about.
God has made bad times.
He has also made good times.
So no one can find out anything
about what’s ahead for them.
15 In my meaningless life here’s what I’ve seen.
I’ve seen godly people dying
even though they are godly.
And I’ve seen sinful people living a long time
even though they are sinful.
16 Don’t claim to be better than you are.
And don’t claim to be wiser than you are.
Why destroy yourself?
