Ecclesiastes 7:16-18
16Do not be excessively 1righteous, and do not 2be overly wise. Why should you ruin yourself? 17Do not be excessively wicked, and do not be foolish. Why should you 3die 4before your time? 18It is good that you grasp one thing while not 5letting go of the other; for one who 6fears God comes out with 7both of them.
