12Say not thou, Why is it that the former dayes were better then these? for thou doest not enquire wisely of this thing.
13Wisedome is good with an inheritance, and excellent to them that see the sunne.
14For man shall rest in the shadowe of wisedome, and in the shadowe of siluer: but the excellencie of the knowledge of wisedome giueth life to the possessers thereof.
15Beholde the worke of God: for who can make straight that which he hath made crooked?
16In the day of wealth be of good comfort, and in the day of affliction consider: God also hath made this contrary to that, to the intent that man shoulde finde nothing after him.
17I haue seene all things in the dayes of my vanitie: there is a iust man that perisheth in his iustice, and there is a wicked man that continueth long in his malice.
18Be not thou iust ouermuch, neither make thy selfe ouerwise: wherefore shouldest thou be desolate?
19Be not thou wicked ouermuch, neither be thou foolish: wherefore shouldest thou perish not in thy time?
20It is good that thou lay hold on this: but yet withdrawe not thine hand from that: for he that feareth God, shall come forth of them all.
