10Say not, Why were the days which have gone by better than these? Such a question comes not from wisdom.

13Give thought to the work of God. Who will make straight what he has made bent?
14In the day of wealth have joy, but in the day of evil take thought: God has put the one against the other, so that man may not be certain what will be after him.
15These two have I seen in my life which is to no purpose: a good man coming to his end in his righteousness, and an evil man whose days are long in his evil-doing.
