Ecclesiastes 7:15-22

The Problem of Injustice

Ecclesiastes 7:15-22
15
In my pointless life, I've seen everything -from the righteous person perishing in his uprightness to the wicked one who lives a long life and keeps on doing wrong.
16
So don't be overly righteous or overly wise; why should you disappoint yourself?
17
But don't be overly wicked, and don't be foolish; why should you die before your time?
18
Don't grasp just one of these rules; take hold of the other as well; for he who is in fear of God will live by both of them.
19
To a wise man wisdom is better protection than ten rulers in a city.
20
For there isn't a righteous person on earth who does [only] good and never sins.
21
Also, don't take seriously every word spoken, such as when you hear your servant speaking badly of you;
22
because often, as you yourself know, you have spoken badly of others.
