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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 14 is found in chapter 7 of Ecclesiastes. Oppression can turn the wise into fools, and bribery can corrupt the heart. Patience is presented as better than arrogance, while constantly longing for “the former days” demonstrates a lack of wisdom. Qohelet invites consideration of both the day of prosperity and the day of adversity because God has allowed both to be part of human experience. The future remains beyond the observer’s control.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
