15In 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.
16I 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.
17Be not very just; neither be very wise: lest you be confounded.
18Be not very wicked; and be not stubborn: lest you should die before your time.
