Ecclesiastes 7:15-22

The Problem of Injustice

Ecclesiastes 7:15-22
15
In my futile life I have seen both of these: A righteous man perishing in his righteousness, and a wicked man living long in his wickedness.
16
Do not be overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself?
17
Do not be excessively wicked, and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time?
18
It is good to grasp the one and not let the other slip from your hand. For he who fears God will follow both warnings.
19
Wisdom makes the wise man stronger than ten rulers in a city.
20
Surely there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
21
Do not pay attention to every word that is spoken, or you may hear your servant cursing you.
22
For you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.
