Ecclesiastes 7:15-22
15All this have I seenH7200 in my daysH3117 of vanityH1892: there is a righteousH6662 man that perisheth in his righteousnessH6664, and there is a wickedH7563 man that prolongeth his life in his evil-doing. 16BeH1961 not righteousH6662 overmuch; neither makeH8074 thyself overwise: whyH4100 shouldest thou destroy thyself? 17BeH1961 not overmuch wicked, neither beH1961 thou foolish: whyH4100 shouldest thou dieH4191 before thy timeH6256? 18It is goodH2896 that thou shouldest takeH270 holdH270 of this; yea, alsoH1571 from that withdraw not thy handH3027: for he that feareth GodH430 shall comeH3318 forthH3318 from them all.
19WisdomH2451 is a strength to the wiseH2450 man more than tenH6235 rulersH7989 that are in a cityH5892. 20Surely there is not a righteousH6662 manH120 upon earthH776, that doeth goodH2896, and sinneth not. 21AlsoH1571 take not heed unto all wordsH1697 that are spokenH1696, lest thou hearH8085 thy servantH5650 curseH7043 thee; 22for oftentimes alsoH1571 thine own heartH3820 knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursedH7043 othersH312.
