Ecclesiastes 7:15-18
15I have seen everything during my adays of vanity; there is ba righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is ca wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing. 16Do not be excessively arighteous, and do not bbe overly wise. Why should you make yourself desolate? 17Do not be excessively wicked, and do not be a simpleminded fool. Why should you adie before your time? 18It is good that you seize one thing and also not 1let go of the other; for the one who afears God comes forth with 2both of them.
