“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.”
Ecclesiastes 7:18 (BSB)
Context Reading
16Do not be overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself? 17Do not be excessively wicked, and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time? 18It is good to grasp the one and not let the other slip from your hand. For he who fears God will follow both warnings. 19Wisdom makes the wise man stronger than ten rulers in a city. 20Surely there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
