Ecclesiastes 7:15-18
Legacy Standard Bible
15 I have seen everything during my (A)days of vanity; there is (B)a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is (C)a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing. 16 Do not be excessively (D)righteous, and do not (E)be overly wise. Why should you make yourself desolate? 17 Do not be excessively wicked, and do not be a simpleminded fool. Why should you (F)die before your time? 18 It is good that you seize one thing and also not [a]let go of the other; for the one who (G)fears God comes forth with [b]both of them.

Ecclesiastes 7:15-18
New King James Version
15 I have seen everything in my days of vanity:
(A)There is a just man who perishes in his righteousness,
And there is a wicked man who prolongs life in his wickedness.
16 (B)Do not be overly righteous,
(C)Nor be overly wise:
Why should you destroy yourself?
17 Do not be overly wicked,
Nor be foolish:
(D)Why 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 (E)fears God will [a]escape them all.
