Ecclesiastes 7:15-18

¹⁵The whole I have considered in the days of my vanity. There is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is a wrong-doer prolonging himself in his wrong.

¹⁶Be not over-righteous, nor show thyself too wise, why art thou desolate?

¹⁷Do not much wrong, neither be thou a fool, why dost thou die within thy time?

¹⁸It is good that thou dost lay hold on this, and also, from that withdrawest not thy hand, for whoso is fearing God goeth out with them all.
