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.

Ecclesiastes 7:12-14
King James Version

12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
