“Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?”
“Be not overmuch wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? ”
“Don't be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die before your time?”

“Be not over just: and be not more wise than is necessary, lest thou become stupid.”
“Be not evil overmuch, and be not foolish. Why come to your end before your time?”
In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
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.
Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
