15Also I saw these things in the days of my nativity; a just or rightwise man perisheth in his rightfulness or rightwiseness, and a wicked man liveth much time in his malice.
16Do not thou be just or rightwise over much, neither understand thou more than is needful; lest thou be astonied.
17Do thou not wickedly much, and do not thou be a fool; lest thou die in a time not thine.
18It is good, that thou sustain a just or rightwise man; but also withdraw thou not thine hand from him; for he that dreadeth God, is not negligent of anything.
