16 I also saw this, in the days of my vanity: a just man perishing in his justice, and an impious man living a long time in his malice.
17 Do not try to be overly just, and do not try to be more wise than is necessary, lest you become stupid.
18 Do not act with great impiety, and do not choose to be foolish, lest you die before your time.
19 It is good for you to support a just man. Furthermore, you should not withdraw your hand from him, for whoever fears God, neglects nothing.
20 Wisdom has strengthened the wise more than ten princes of a city.
