Ecclesiastes 7:14-16
New King James Version

14 (A)In the day of prosperity be joyful,
But in the day of adversity consider:
Surely God has appointed the one [a]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:

(B)There is a just man who perishes in his righteousness,
And there is a wicked man who prolongs life in his wickedness.

16 (C)Do not be overly righteous,
(D)Nor be overly wise:
Why should you destroy yourself?
