16So do not think that you are very righteous and do not think that you are very wise, because if you think those things, you will destroy yourself.
17If you do what is evil or do what is foolish, you might die while you are still young.
18Continue to avoid doing what is evil and doing what is foolish; avoid doing both of those things by continually revering God.
19If you are wise, you will be more powerful/influential than the ten most powerful/influential men in your city.
