Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask 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, 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. | 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. |
