12For wisdom in its shadow is as the shadow of silver: And the excellence of the knowledge of wisdom Will give life to him that has it.
13Behold the works of God: For who shall be able to straighten Him whom God has made crooked?
14In the day of prosperity live joyfully, And consider in the day of adversity: Consider, I say, God also has caused The one to agree with the other for this reason, That man should find nothing after him.
15I have seen all things in the days of my vanity: There is a just man perishing in his justice, And there is an ungodly man remaining in his wickedness.
16Be not very just; Neither be very wise: lest thou be confounded.
17Be not very wicked; and be not stubborn: Lest thou shouldest die before thy time.
18It is well for thee to hold fast by this; Also by this defile not thy hand: For to them that fear God all things shall come forth well.
19Wisdom will help the wise man More than ten mighty men which are in the city.
20For there is not a righteous man in the earth, Who will do good, and not sin.
