Ecclesiastes 7:15-22

The Problem of Injustice

Ecclesiastes 7:15-22
15
Beholde the worke of God: for who can make straight that which he hath made crooked?
16
In the day of wealth be of good comfort, and in the day of affliction consider: God also hath made this contrary to that, to the intent that man shoulde finde nothing after him.
17
I haue seene all things in the dayes of my vanitie: there is a iust man that perisheth in his iustice, and there is a wicked man that continueth long in his malice.
18
Be not thou iust ouermuch, neither make thy selfe ouerwise: wherefore shouldest thou be desolate?
19
Be not thou wicked ouermuch, neither be thou foolish: wherefore shouldest thou perish not in thy time?
20
It is good that thou lay hold on this: but yet withdrawe not thine hand from that: for he that feareth God, shall come forth of them all.
21
Wisedome shall strengthen the wise man more then ten mightie princes that are in ye citie.
22
Surely there is no man iust in the earth, that doeth good and sinneth not.
