16 Don`t be overly righteous, neither make yourself overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself?
17 Don`t be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die before your time?
18 It 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.
19 Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.
20 Surely there is not a righteous man on earth, who does good and doesn`t sin.
21 Also don`t take heed to all words that are spoken, lest you hear your servant curse you;
22 for often your own heart knows that you yourself have likewise cursed others.
