15I have seenH7200 everythingH3605 during my 12lifetimeH3117 of futilityH1892; thereH3426 is 3a righteousH6662 manH6662 who perishesH6 in his righteousnessH6664 and thereH3426 is 4a wickedH7563 manH7563 who prolongsH748 his life in his wickednessH7463. 16Do not be excessivelyH7235 5righteousH6662 and do not 6be overlyH3148 wiseH2449. WhyH4100 should you ruinH8074 yourself? 17Do not be excessivelyH7235 wickedH7561 and do not be a foolH5530. WhyH4100 should you 7dieH4191 beforeH3808 your timeH6256? 18It is goodH2896 that you graspH270 oneH2088 thingH2088 and alsoH1571 not 8letH5117H3027 goH5117H3027 of the otherH2088; for the one who 9fearsH3372 GodH430 comesH3318 forthH3318 with 10bothH3605 of them.
