Ecclesiastes 7:15-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
15
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.
16
Do not be excessively righteous, and do not be overly wise. Why should you ruin yourself?
King James Version
Chapter 7
15
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.
16
Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 7
15
In my futile life I have seen everything: someone righteous perishes in spite of his righteousness, and someone wicked lives long in spite of his evil.
16
Don't be excessively righteous, and don't be overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself?
New Living Translation
Chapter 7
15
I have seen everything in this meaningless life, including the death of good young people and the long life of wicked people.
16
So don’t be too good or too wise! Why destroy yourself?
English Standard Version
Chapter 7
15
In my vain life I have seen everything. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing.
16
Be not overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself?
New International Version
Chapter 7
15
In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these: the righteous perishing in their righteousness, and the wicked living long in their wickedness.
16
Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise-- why destroy yourself?
New King James Version
Chapter 7
15
I have seen everything in my days of vanity:
There is a just
man
who perishes in his righteousness,
And there is a wicked
man
who prolongs
life
in his wickedness.
16
Do not be overly righteous,
Nor be overly wise:
Why should you destroy yourself?
