Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Eccl 7:18

“Be not overmuch wicked: and be not foolish, lest thou die before thy time.”

“this . . . this--the two opposite excesses (Ecc 7:16-17), fanatical, self-wise righteousness, and presumptuous, foolhardy wickedness. he that feareth God shall come forth of them all--shall escape all such extremes (Pro 3:7).”
