Ecclesiastes
7:9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
7:10 Say not thou, What is [the cause] that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
7:11 Wisdom [is] as good as an inheritance, yea, better too: and [by it there is] profit to them that see the sun.
7:12 For Wisdom [is] a defence, [and] money [is] a defence: but the excellency of Knowledge [is, that] Wisdom giveth Life to them that have it.
7:13 Consider the work of God: for who can make [that] straight, which He hath made crooked?
7:14 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 more important than Him.
7:15 All [things] have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just [man] that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked [man] that prolongeth [his life] in his wickedness.
7:16 Be not too self righteous; neither consider thyself overwise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?
7:17 Be not too wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?
7:18 [It is] good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth from them all.
7:19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty [men] which are in the city.
7:20 For [there is] not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
7:25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out Wisdom, and the reason [of things], and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness [and] madness:
7:26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart [is] snares and nets, [and] her hands [as] binders: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
7:27 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, [weighing] one thing after another, to find out the reason:
8:6 Because to every purpose there is time and Judgment, therefore the misery of man [is] great upon him.
8:7 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily , therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
8:12 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his [days] be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear in front of Him:
8:14 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity
9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
9:12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so [are] the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
9:15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by His Wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
9:16 Then said I, Wisdom [is] better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's Wisdom [is] despised, and his words are not heard.
9:17 The words of wise [men are] heard in quiet more than the shout of him that ruleth among fools.
9:18 Wisdom [is] better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
Ephesians
6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with Truth, and having on the Breastplate of Righteousness;
6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
10:20 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
11:6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not which shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both alike [shall be] good
12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His Commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty ] of man.
12:14 For God shall bring every work into Judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil.
