¹⁵ אֶת־הַכֹּל רָאִיתִי בִּימֵי הֶבְלִי; יֵשׁ צַדִּיק אֹבֵד בְּצִדְקוֹ, וְיֵשׁ רָשָׁע, מַאֲרִיךְ בְּרָעָתוֹ׃ ¹⁶ אַל־תְּהִי צַדִּיק הַרְבֵּה, וְאַל־תִּתְחַכַּם יוֹתֵר; לָמָּה תִּשּׁוֹמֵם׃ ¹⁷ אַל־תִּרְשַׁע הַרְבֵּה וְאַל־תְּהִי סָכָל; לָמָּה תָמוּת בְּלֹא עִתֶּךָ׃ ¹⁸ טוֹב אֲשֶׁר תֶּאֱחֹז בָּזֶה, וְגַם־מִזֶּה אַל־תַּנַּח אֶת־יָדֶךָ; כִּי־יְרֵא אֱלֹהִים יֵצֵא אֶת־כֻּלָּם׃ ¹⁹ הַחָכְמָה תָּעֹז לֶחָכָם; מֵעֲשָׂרָה שַׁלִּיטִים, אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ בָּעִיר׃ ²⁰ כִּי אָדָם, אֵין צַדִּיק בָּאָרֶץ; אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה־טּוֹב וְלֹא יֶחֱטָא׃ ²¹ גַּם לְכָל־הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר יְדַבֵּרוּ, אַל־תִּתֵּן לִבֶּךָ; אֲשֶׁר לֹא־תִשְׁמַע אֶת־עַבְדְּךָ מְקַלְלֶךָ׃ ²² כִּי גַּם־פְּעָמִים רַבּוֹת יָדַע לִבֶּךָ; אֲשֶׁר גַּם־אַתְּ (אַתָּה) קִלַּלְתָּ אֲחֵרִים׃ ²³ כָּל־זֹה נִסִּיתִי בַחָכְמָה; אָמַרְתִּי אֶחְכָּמָה, וְהִיא רְחוֹקָה מִמֶּנִּי׃ ²⁴ רָחוֹק מַה־שֶּׁהָיָה; וְעָמֹק עָמֹק מִי יִמְצָאֶנּוּ׃ ²⁵ סַבּוֹתִי אֲנִי וְלִבִּי לָדַעַת וְלָתוּר, וּבַקֵּשׁ חָכְמָה וְחֶשְׁבּוֹן; וְלָדַעַת רֶשַׁע כֶּסֶל, וְהַסִּכְלוּת הוֹלֵלוֹת׃
