Ecclesiastes 7:14 in Context — Ecclesiastes 7
12 porque a sabedoria serve de proteção, assim como o dinheiro serve de proteção; mas a vantagem do conhecimento é que a sabedoria dá vida ao seu dono.
13 Observa a obra de Deus, pois quem poderá endireitar o que ele entortou?
14 No dia da prosperidade, alegra-te; mas no dia da adversidade, considera; pois Deus faz um em contraposição ao outro, para que o homem não consiga descobrir o que haverá depois dele.
15 Tudo [isto] vi nos meus dias de futilidade: há justo que perece em sua justiça, e há perverso que prolonga [sua vida] em sua maldade.
16 Não sejas justo demais, nem sejas sábio demais; para que destruirias a ti mesmo?
