In context
17 Don’t be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die before your time?
18 It is good that you should take hold of this. Yes, also don’t withdraw your hand from that; for he who fears God will come out of them all.
19 Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.
20 Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and doesn’t sin.
21 Also don’t take heed to all words that are spoken, lest you hear your servant curse you;
22 for often your own heart knows that you yourself have likewise cursed others.
23 All this I have proved in wisdom. I said, “I will be wise;” but it was far from me.
