Ecclesiastes 7:13

¹⁵That which is crooked can’t be made straight; and that which is lacking can’t be counted.

¹⁴Behold, he breaks down, and it can’t be built again. He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.

⁴³Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of the LORD.

¹²The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don’t respect the work of the LORD, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.

¹¹He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.

²⁷For the LORD of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”

¹⁵For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

¹¹We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,

¹⁹You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”

¹⁴“Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
