16Be not righteous overmuch; neither make thyself overwise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?

17Be not overmuch wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

18It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from that withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth from them all.

19Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city.

20Surely there is not a righteous man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

21Also take not heed unto all words that are spoken, lest thou hear thy servant curse thee;

22for oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.
