"Consider the work of God, for who is able to straighten what He has bent?"

Here we see that true wisdom won't try to change or deny what God has done. Rather, the truly wise man will submit to and accept how God governs this universe. Since God is holy (1 John 1:5), this verse isn't speaking about moral crookedness, but rather of things and events we find awkward, inconvenient or difficult. Instead of resenting and rebelling against the fact that God allows us to suffer, we should use such opportunities wisely (1 Cor. Ecclesiastes 10:13).
