Ecclesiastes 7:13-15
International Children’s Bible
13 Stop and think about everything that God causes to happen.
You cannot change a thing,
even if you think it is wrong.
14 When life is good, enjoy it.
But when life is hard, remember:
God gives us good times and hard times.
And no one knows what tomorrow will bring.
It Is Impossible to Be Truly Good
15 In my short life I have seen both of these:
I have seen good men die being good.
And I have seen evil men living a long time.
Ecclesiastes 7:13-15
New International Version
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)
