Ecclesiastes 7:15–29 · BSB
7:15 In my futile life I have seen both of these: A righteous man perishing in his righteousness, and a wicked man living long in his wickedness.
7:16 Do not be overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself?
7:17 Do not be excessively wicked, and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time?
7:18 It is good to grasp the one and not let the other slip from your hand. For he who fears God will follow both warnings.
7:19 Wisdom makes the wise man stronger than ten rulers in a city.
7:20 Surely there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
7:21 Do not pay attention to every word that is spoken, or you may hear your servant cursing you.
7:22 For you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.
7:23 All this I tested by wisdom, saying, “I resolve to be wise.” But it was beyond me.
7:24 What exists is out of reach and very deep. Who can fathom it?
7:25 I directed my mind to understand, to explore, to search out wisdom and explanations, and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the folly of madness.
7:26 And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a net, and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is ensnared.
7:27 “Behold,” says the Teacher, “I have discovered this by adding one thing to another to find an explanation.
7:28 While my soul was still searching but not finding, among a thousand I have found one upright man, but among all these I have not found one such woman.
7:29 Only this have I found: I have discovered that God made mankind upright, but they have sought out many schemes.”
