Ecclesiastes 7:16-18

Lexham English Bible

¹⁶ Do not be excessively^[a] righteous,
    and do not act excessively wise, lest you destroy yourself.
¹⁷ Do not act excessively wicked,
    and do not be a fool, lest you die before your time.
¹⁸ It is good to take hold of the one and also must not let go of the other;
    for whoever fears God will hold both of them secure.
