14In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything after him.
15All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evil-doing.
16Don`t be overly righteous, neither make yourself overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself?
17Don`t be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die before your time?
18It is good that you should take hold of this. Yes, also from that don`t withdraw your hand; for he who fears God will come forth from them all.
19Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.
20Surely there is not a righteous man on earth, who does good and doesn`t sin.
