Ecclesiastes 7:13 KJV
Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?
This is not, in my estimation, to be taken as a bitter statement, but rather as a statement of submission to the mind of God.

Some have accused God's plan for the ages as "crooked."
That Satan and sin entered the world
That God would not accept all forms of worship
That there is none other name under heaven whereby we must be saved
That there is a hell the lost go to
That man cannot redeem himself by his own good deeds
Much of mankind would like to "straighten" those things out. They consider them to be crooked. They, like Cain, believe they can justify their own fruits.
The wise man considers the work of God and rests in God's almighty plan. God is not crooked in the sense of being wrong. It is merely that His ways are different that our ways; and what is more, His ways are higher than our ways. Not only is it true that we cannot straighten that which He hath made crooked, we do not need to straighten it.
God's ways are right
God's ways are good
God's ways are perfect
That Satan and sin entered the world
That God would not accept all forms of worship
That there is none other name under heaven whereby we must be saved
That there is a hell the lost go to
That man cannot redeem himself by his own good deeds
