Ecc 7:14 | NETfull | STEP | In times of prosperity be joyful, but in times of adversity consider this: God has made one as well as the other, so that no one can discover what the future holds.

Ecclesiastes 7:14

14 In times of prosperity ^{▼▼ Heb “the day of good.”} be joyful,
but in times of adversity ^{▼▼ Heb “the day of evil.”} consider this:
God has made one as well as the other, ^{▼▼ Less probable renderings of this line are “God hath made the one side by side with the other” (ASV) and “God has set the one alongside the other” (NEB).}
so that no one can discover what the future holds. ^{▼▼ Heb “anything after him.” This line is misinterpreted by several versions: “that man may not find against him any just complaint” (Douay); “consequently, man may find no fault with Him” (NJPS); “so that man cannot find fault with him in anything” (NAB).}
