Ecclesiastes 7:15-18 - The Law Of Retribution Does Not Always Work'But It Does Sometimes
15 I have seen all these things in my vain life: Sometimes a righteous man perishes in [spite of] his righteousness, and sometimes a wicked man lives a long life in [spite of] his evil. 16 Do not be excessively righteous, and do not act excessively wise, lest you destroy yourself. 17 Do not act excessively wicked, and do not be a fool, lest you die before your time. 18 [It is] good to take hold of the one and also must not let go of the other; for whoever fears God will hold both of them secure.
