13Behold thou the works of God, and see that no man may amend him, whom God hath despised.
14In a good day use thou goods, and before eschew thou an evil day; for God made so this day as that day, that a man find not just complainings against him.
15Also I saw these things in the days of my nativity; a just or rightwise man perisheth in his rightfulness or rightwiseness, and a wicked man liveth much time in his malice.
16Do not thou be just or rightwise over much, neither understand thou more than is needful; lest thou be astonied.
17Do thou not wickedly much, and do not thou be a fool; lest thou die in a time not thine.
