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.
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 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?
16
Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise— why destroy yourself?
