“Consider the work of God!
Who can make straight
What he has made crooked?
In the day of prosperity
Be joyful!
In the day of adversity
Consider!
God has made the one
As well as the other.
Thus mortals may not find out anything
That will come after them.”
Qoheleth wants us to look at the work of God. Can anyone make a crooked way straight? Remember that God has made both the days of prosperity and the days of adversity. Mortals would like to know about the future, but only God knows what will come after the life of a mortal.
