Ecclesiastes 7:15 in Context — Ecclesiastes 7
13 Mira la obra de Dios; porque ¿quién podrá enderezar lo que él torció?
14 En el día del bien goza del bien; y en el día del mal considera. Dios también hizo esto delante de lo otro, porque el hombre no halle nada tras de él.
15 Todo esto he visto en los días de mi vanidad. Justo hay que perece por su justicia, y hay impío que por su maldad alarga [sus días].
16 No seas demasiado justo, ni seas sabio con exceso: ¿por qué te destruirás?
17 No hagas mal mucho, ni seas insensato: ¿por qué morirás antes de tu tiempo?
