Ecclesiastes 7:16

16 Do not be excessively ^arighteous, and do not ^bbe overly wise. Why should you make yourself desolate?

Ecclesiastes 9:2-10

2 ^aIt is the same for all. There is ^bone fate for the righteous and for the wicked; for the good, for the clean and for the unclean; for the man who offers a sacrifice and for the one who does not sacrifice. As the good man is, so is the sinner; as the swearer is, so is the one who ¹is afraid to swear. 3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is ^aone fate for all. Furthermore, ^bthe hearts of the sons of men are full of evil, and ^cmadness is in their hearts throughout their lives. Afterwards they go to the dead. 4 For whoever is joined with all the living, there is confidence; surely a live dog is better than a dead lion. 5 For the living know they will die; but the dead ^ado not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for the ^bmemory of them is forgotten. 6 Indeed their love, their hate, and their zeal have already perished, and they will never again have a ^aportion in all that is done under the sun.
7 Go then, ^aeat your bread in gladness and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works. 8 Let your ^aclothes be white all the time, and let not ^boil be lacking on your head. 9 See life with the woman whom you love all the days of your ^avain life, which He has given to you under the sun—all the days of your ^avanity; for this is your ^bportion in life and in your labor in which you have labored under the sun.

Whatever Your Hand Finds to Do

10 Whatever your hand finds to do, ^ado it with all your might; for there is no ^bworking or explaining or knowledge or wisdom in ^cSheol where you are going.
