Kohelet 7:16-18

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁶ Do not be over much the tzaddik nor over much the chacham; why cause thyself desolation?

¹⁷ Be not over much resha, neither be thou foolish; why shouldest thou die before thy time?

¹⁸ It is good that thou holdest fast to the one and withdrawest not thine hand from the other; for he is a yire Elohim (G-d fearer) who shall fulfill both.
