Ecclesiastes 7:15-18 NIV

[15] In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these: the righteous perishing in their righteousness, and the wicked living long in their wickedness. [16] Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise—why destroy yourself? [17] Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool—why die before your time? [18] It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes.
