Ecclesiastes 7:17-19
New International Version - UK

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.[a]

19 Wisdom makes one wise person more powerful
    than ten rulers in a city.
