Ecclesiastes 7:15-17

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁵ In my pointless life, I’ve seen everything —
from the righteous person perishing in his uprightness
to the wicked one who lives a long life
and keeps on doing wrong.
¹⁶ So don’t be overly righteous or overly wise;
why should you disappoint yourself?
¹⁷ But don’t be overly wicked, and don’t be foolish;
why should you die before your time?
