Ecclesiastes 7:16-18

Complete Jewish Bible

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?
¹⁸ Don’t grasp just one of these rules;
take hold of the other as well;
for he who is in fear of God
will live by both of them.
