| Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not inquire wisely concerning this. | Do not assert that the past was better than the present, for such a statement is not a sign of wisdom. |
| In the day of prosperity be joyful, But in the day of adversity consider: Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other, So that man can find out nothing 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. |

Bible verse of the day
How beautiful upon the mountainsAre the feet of him who brings good news,
Who proclaims peace,
Who brings glad tidings of good things,
Who proclaims salvation,
Who says to Zion,
“Your God reigns!”
