In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything after him.

EXPLANATION

Verse 14. Despised. God never neglects first. Trid. Ses. vi. 11.—He detests sin, and at last abandons the obstinate, though he never fails to offer sufficient graces. A person who is of an unhealthy constitution, or involved in sin, cannot be cured by man alone. Yet we must not cease to preach, and so forth while we expect all from God, who gives the increase. 1 Corinthians 3:7.
