Ecclesiastes 7:15-22

15All things have I seenH7200 in the daysH3117 of my vanityH1892: there isH3426 a justH6662 man that perishethH6 in his righteousnessH6664, and there is a wickedH7563 man that prolongethH748 his life in his wickednessH7451. 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 thy handH3027: for he that fearethH3373 GodH430 shall escapeH3318 from them all. 19WisdomH2451 strengthenethH5810 the wiseH2450 more than tenH6235 mightyH7989 men who are in the cityH5892. 20For there is not a justH6662 manH120 upon earthH776, that doethH6213 goodH2896, and sinnethH2398 not. 21Also takeH5414 no heedH3820 to all wordsH1697 that are spokenH1696; lest thou hearH8085 thy servantH5650 curseH7043 thee:3 22For oftenH6471H7227 also thy own heartH3820 knowethH3045 that thou thyself likewise hast cursedH7043 othersH312.
