|---|---|---|
Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?
|
Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

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