Ecclesiastes 7:13-15
Darby Translation
13 Consider the work of God; for who can make straight what he hath made crooked?
14 In the day of prosperity enjoy good, and in the day of adversity consider: God hath also set the one beside the other, to the end that man should find out nothing [of what shall be] after him.
15 All [this] have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a righteous [man] that perisheth by his righteousness, and there is a wicked [man] that prolongeth [his days] by his wickedness.

Ecclesiastes 7:13-15
New International Version
13 Consider what God has done:(A)
Who can straighten
what he has made crooked?(B)
14 When times are good, be happy;
but when times are bad, consider this:
God has made the one
as well as the other.(C)
Therefore, no one can discover
anything about their future.
15 In this meaningless life(D) of mine I have seen both of these:
the righteous perishing in their righteousness,
and the wicked living long in their wickedness.(E)
