15The whole I have considered in the days of my vanity. There is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is a wrong-doer prolonging [himself] in his wrong.
16Be not over-righteous, nor show thyself too wise, why art thou desolate?
17Do not much wrong, neither be thou a fool, why dost thou die within thy time?
18[It is] good that thou dost lay hold on this, and also, from that withdrawest not thy hand, for whoso is fearing God goeth out with them all.
19The wisdom giveth strength to a wise man, more than wealth the rulers who have been in a city.
20Because there is not a righteous man on earth that doth good and sinneth not.
21Also to all the words that they speak give not thy heart, that thou hear not thy servant reviling thee.
