17I haue seene all things in the dayes of my vanitie: there is a iust man that perisheth in his iustice, and there is a wicked man that continueth long in his malice.
18Be not thou iust ouermuch, neither make thy selfe ouerwise: wherefore shouldest thou be desolate?
19Be not thou wicked ouermuch, neither be thou foolish: wherefore shouldest thou perish not in thy time?
20It is good that thou lay hold on this: but yet withdrawe not thine hand from that: for he that feareth God, shall come forth of them all.
21Wisedome shall strengthen the wise man more then ten mightie princes that are in ye citie.
22Surely there is no man iust in the earth, that doeth good and sinneth not.
23Giue not thine heart also to all ye wordes that men speake, lest thou doe heare thy seruant cursing thee.
