Ecclesiastes 7:15-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Avoiding Extremes
15 In my futile life[a] I have seen everything:(A) there is a righteous man who perishes in spite of his righteousness,(B) and there is a wicked man who lives long in spite of his evil.(C) 16 Don’t be excessively righteous, and don’t be overly wise.(D) Why should you destroy yourself? 17 Don’t be excessively wicked, and don’t be foolish. Why should you die before your time?(E) 18 It is good that you grasp the one and do not let the other slip from your hand. For the one who fears God will end up with both of them.
