Ecclesiastes 7:17-19

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁷ Do not much wrong, neither be thou a fool, why dost thou die within thy time?

¹⁸ [It is] good that thou dost lay hold on this, and also, from that withdrawest not thy hand, for whoso is fearing God goeth out with them all.

¹⁹ The wisdom giveth strength to a wise man, more than wealth the rulers who have been in a city.
