Ecclesiastes 7:16-18

World English Bible

¹⁶ Don’t be overly righteous, neither make yourself overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself? ¹⁷ Don’t be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die before your time? ¹⁸ It is good that you should take hold of this. Yes, also don’t withdraw your hand from that; for he who fears God will come out of them all.
