Ecclesiastes 7:15
15 I have seen everything during my [fleeting] days of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in [spite of] his righteousness,
and there is a wicked man who lives a long life in [spite of] his wickedness.
Ecclesiastes 7:16-17
16 Do not be excessively righteous [like those given to self-conceit], and do not be overly wise (pretentious)why should you bring yourself to ruin?
17 Do not be excessively or willfully wicked and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time?
Ecclesiastes 7:18
18 It is good that you take hold of one thing (righteousness) and also not let go of the other (wisdom); for the one who fears and worships God [with awe-filled reverence] will come forth with both of them.
Ecclesiastes 7:19-20
19 Wisdom strengthens the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city. 20 Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who always does good and who never sins.
Ecclesiastes 7:21-22
21 Also, do not take seriously everything that is said, so that you will not hear your servant cursing you, 22 for you also know that you too have cursed others many times.
Ecclesiastes 7:23-25
23 I have tested all this with wisdom. I said, “I will be wise [independently of God],” but true wisdom was far from me.
24 Whatever has been is far off, deeply remote and exceedingly mysterious. Who can discover it [for it is beyond the grasp of man]?
25 I turned around and directed my heart to know, to investigate and to seek [skillful and godly] wisdom and the reason for things, and to know that wickedness is folly and that foolishness is madness [leading to stupidity and recklessness].
Ecclesiastes 7:27-29
27 “Behold, I have discovered this,” says the Preacher, “while adding one thing to another to find an explanation,
28 which I am still seeking but have not found. I have found one man among a thousand [who pleases God], but I have not found [such] a woman among all these [a thousand in my harem].
29 Behold, I have found only this [as a reason]: God made man upright and uncorrupted, but they [both men and women] have sought out many devices [for evil].”
