King James VersionSource notes
“Good is set against evil, and life against death: so is the godly against the sinner, and the sinner against the godly.”
Context
11In much knowledge the Lord hath divided them, and made their ways diverse.
12Some of them hath he blessed and exalted and some of them he sanctified, and set near himself: but some of them hath he cursed and brought low, and turned out of their places.
13As the clay is in the potter’s hand, to fashion it at his pleasure: so man is in the hand of him that made him, to render to them as liketh him best.
14Good is set against evil, and life against death: so is the godly against the sinner, and the sinner against the godly.
15So look upon all the works of the most High; and there are two and two, one against another.
16I awaked up last of all, as one that gathereth after the grapegatherers: by the blessing of the Lord I profited, and tred my winepress like a gatherer of grapes.
17Consider that I laboured not for myself only, but for all them that seek learning.
