Ecclesiastes 7:17-19
New American Standard Bible
17 Do not be excessively wicked, and do not be foolish. Why should you (A)die [a]before your time? 18 It is good that you grasp one thing while not [b]letting go of the other; for one who (B)fears God comes out with [c]both of them.
19 (C)Wisdom strengthens a wise person more than ten rulers who are in a city.

King James Version
17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?
18 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.
19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
