Ecclesiastes 7:17-20

Easy-to-Read Version

^16-17 So why ruin your life? Don’t be too good or too bad, and don’t be too wise or too foolish. Why should you die before your time?

¹⁸ Try to be a little of this and a little of that.^[a] Even God’s followers will do some good things and some bad things. ^19-20 Surely there is no one on earth who always does good and never sins. But wisdom can make one person stronger than ten leaders in a city.
