Ecclesiastes 7:15-18
15I have seen everything during my 12lifetime of futility; there is 3a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is 4a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness. 16Do not be excessively 5righteous and do not 6be overly wise. Why should you ruin yourself? 17Do not be excessively wicked and do not be a fool. Why should you 7die before your time? 18It is good that you grasp one thing and also not 8let go of the other; for the one who 9fears God comes forth with 10both of them.
