Ecclesiastes 7:16-25

16Be not righteousH6662 over muchH7235; neither make thyself overH3148 wiseH2449: why shouldest thou destroyH8074 thyself?1 17Be not over muchH7235 wickedH7561, neither be thou foolishH5530: why shouldest thou dieH4191 before thy timeH6256?2 18It is goodH2896 that thou shouldest take holdH270 of this; yea, also from thisH2088 withdrawH3240 not thine handH3027: for he that fearethH3373 GodH430 shall come forthH3318 of them all. 19WisdomH2451 strengthenethH5810 the wiseH2450 more than tenH6235 mightyH7989 men which are in the cityH5892. 20For there is not a justH6662 manH120 upon earthH776, that doethH6213 goodH2896, and sinnethH2398 not. 21Also takeH5414 no heedH3820 unto all wordsH1697 that are spokenH1696; lest thou hearH8085 thy servantH5650 curseH7043 thee:3 22For oftentimesH7227H6471 also thine own heartH3820 knowethH3045 that thou thyself likewise hast cursedH7043 othersH312.

23All thisH2090 have I provedH5254 by wisdomH2451: I saidH559, I will be wiseH2449; but it was farH7350 from me. 24That which is far offH7350, and exceeding deepH6013, who can find it outH4672? 25I appliedH5437 mine heartH3820 to knowH3045, and to searchH8446, and to seek outH1245 wisdomH2451, and the reasonH2808 of things, and to knowH3045 the wickednessH7562 of follyH3689, even of foolishnessH5531 and madnessH1947:4
