Ecclesiastes 7:12-14
New American Standard Bible 1995

12 For (A)wisdom is [a]protection just as money is [b]protection,
But the advantage of knowledge is that (B)wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.
13 Consider the (C)work of God,
For who is (D)able to straighten what He has bent?
14 (E)In the day of prosperity be happy,
But (F)in the day of adversity consider—
God has made the one as well as the other
So that man will (G)not discover anything that will be after him.

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.
