Ecclesiastes 7:15-18

15During the days of my fleeting life I have seen both of these things: Sometimes a righteous person dies prematurely in spite of his righteousness, and sometimes a wicked person lives long in spite of his evil deeds.

16So do not be excessively righteous or excessively wise; otherwise you might be disappointed.

17Do not be excessively wicked and do not be a fool; otherwise you might die before your time.

18It is best to take hold of one warning without letting go of the other warning; for the one who fears God will follow both warnings.
