Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not inquire wisely concerning this. | Don’t long for “the good old days.” This is not wise. |
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. | Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. Remember that nothing is certain in this life. |
