¹⁶ Do not be overly righteous, Nor be overly wise: Why should you destroy yourself?

¹⁶ Do not be too righteous, and do not act too wise; why should you destroy yourself?

¹⁶ Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy [1] thyself?

¹⁶ So don't knock yourself out being good, and don't go overboard being wise. Believe me, you won't get anything out of it.
