| Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask this. | Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this. |
| In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; God has made the one as well as the other, so that mortals may not find out anything that will come after them. | 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. |
Bible verse of the day
All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet:“Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,”
which means, “God is with us.”
