Ecclesiastes 7:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ Don’t be too right,
    and don’t be too wise.
    Why destroy yourself?
¹⁷ Don’t be too wicked,
    and don’t be foolish.
    Why die before your time?
¹⁸ It is good to grab the one and not let go of the other;
    those who honor God will hold them both.
