Ecclesiastes 7:17-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁷ Do not be overly wicked, either, and do not be a fool. Why die before your time? ¹⁸ It is good that you hang on to one alternative, but do not let go of the other, for one who fears God will avoid both extremes.^[a]

¹⁹ Wisdom makes one wise man stronger than ten rulers who are in the city.
