Ecclesiastes 7:18

16 ^aDo not be overly righteous,
^bNor be overly wise:
Why should you destroy yourself?

17 Do not be overly wicked,
Nor be foolish:
^aWhy should you die before your time?

18 It is good that you grasp this,
And also not remove your hand from the other;
For he who ^afears God will escape them all.

19 ^aWisdom strengthens the wise
More than ten rulers of the city.

20 ^aFor there is not a just man on earth who does good
And does not sin.

21 Also do not take to heart everything people say,
Lest you hear your servant cursing you.
