Ecclesiastes 7:12-14
International Children’s Bible

12 Wisdom is like money.
    They both help a person.
But wisdom is better than money,
    because it can save a person’s life.

13 Stop and think about everything that God causes to happen.
You cannot change a thing,
    even if you think it is wrong.
14 When life is good, enjoy it.
    But when life is hard, remember:
God gives us good times and hard times.
    And no one knows what tomorrow will bring.

Ecclesiastes 7:12-14
New International Version

12 Wisdom is a shelter
    as money is a shelter,
but the advantage of knowledge is this:
    Wisdom preserves those who have it.

13 Consider what God has done:(A)

Who can straighten
    what he has made crooked?(B)
14 When times are good, be happy;
    but when times are bad, consider this:
God has made the one
    as well as the other.(C)
Therefore, no one can discover
    anything about their future.
