Ecclesiastes 7:9-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

9. Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, For anger resides in the bosom of fools.

10. Do not say, "Why is it that the former days were better than these?" For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.

11. Wisdom along with an inheritance is good And an advantage to those who see the sun.

12. For wisdom is protection just as money is protection, But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.

13. Consider the work of God, For who is able to straighten what He has bent?

14. In the day of prosperity be happy, But in the day of adversity consider- God has made the one as well as the other So that man will not discover anything that will be after him.
