| Do not say, “Why is it that the former days were better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this. | Do not assert that the past was better than the present, for such a statement is not a sign of wisdom. |
| On the day of prosperity be happy, But on the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other So that a person will not discover anything that will come after him. | When things are going well, be grateful for your blessings, and in times of adversity consider this: God has made both of them, so that we cannot predict with confidence what the future holds. |
| Indeed, there is not a righteous person on earth who always does good and does not ever sin. | There is no one on earth who is so righteous that he does nothing but good and never sins. |
