Ecclesiastes 7:14

Context

7:14 In times of prosperity 1  be joyful,

but in times of adversity 2  consider this:

God has made one as well as the other, 3 

so that no one can discover what the future holds. 4 

1 tn Heb “the day of good.”

2 tn Heb “the day of evil.”

3 tn Less probable renderings of this line are “God hath made the one side by side with the other” (ASV) and “God has set the one alongside the other” (NEB).

4 tn Heb “anything after him.” This line is misinterpreted by several versions: “that man may not find against him any just complaint” (Douay); “consequently, man may find no fault with Him” (NJPS); “so that man cannot find fault with him in anything” (NAB).
