¹⁶ Be not overly righteous, and do not ^(A)make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself? ¹⁷ Be not overly wicked, neither be a fool. ^(B)Why should you die before your time?

²⁰ Surely ^(A)there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.

²¹ Do not take to heart all the things that people say, lest you hear ^(B)your servant cursing you. ²² Your heart knows that ^(C)many times you yourself have cursed others.

²⁹ See, this alone I found, that ^(A)God made man upright, but ^(B)they have sought out many schemes.
