Ecclesiastes 7:16-18

21st Century King James Version

¹⁶ Be not righteous overmuch, neither make thyself overwise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?

¹⁷ Be not overmuch wicked, neither be thou foolish. Why shouldest thou die before thy time?

¹⁸ It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from the other withdraw not thine hand. For he that feareth God shall come forth from them all.
