Ecclesiastes 7:18-20
International Standard Version

18 It is good for you to grab hold of this and not let go,
    because whoever fears God will escape
        all of these extremes.[a]
19 Wisdom given as strength to a wise person
    is better than having ten powerful men in the city.
20 For there is not a single righteous man on earth
    who practices good and does not sin.
