Ecclesiastes 7:15-20

¹⁵All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

¹⁶Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldst thou destroy thyself?

¹⁷Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldst thou die before thy time?

¹⁸It is good that thou shouldst take hold of this; yes, also from this withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God shall escape from them all.

¹⁹Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men who are in the city.

²⁰For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
