Ecclesiastes 7:16-22

¹⁶Be not righteous overmuch; neither make thyself overwise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?

¹⁷Be not overmuch wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

¹⁸It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from that withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God cometh forth from them all.

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

²⁰Surely there is not a righteous man upon earth, that doeth good and sinneth not.

²¹Also give not heed unto all words that are spoken, lest thou hear thy servant curse thee.

²²For also thine own heart knoweth that oftentimes thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.
