Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.

Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: why should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?

Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldst thou destroy thyself?

Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldst thou die before thy time?
