15I have seen all things in the days of my vanity: There is a just man perishing in his justice, And there is an ungodly man remaining in his wickedness.
16Be not very just; Neither be very wise: lest thou be confounded.
17Be not very wicked; and be not stubborn: Lest thou shouldest die before thy time.
