Ecclesiastes 7:12-16

For wisdom is protection just as money is protection, But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom keeps its possessors alive.

Consider the work of God, For who is able to straighten what He has bent?

On the day of prosperity be happy, But on the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other So that a person will not discover anything that will come after him.

I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous person who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked person who prolongs his life in his wickedness.

Do not be excessively righteous, and do not be overly wise. Why should you ruin yourself?
