Ecclesiastes 7: 15-17
(1599 Geneva Bible)
Behold the work of God;
for who can make straight that which he hath made crooked?
¹⁶ In the day of wealth be of good comfort, and in the day of affliction ^[a]consider: God also hath made this contrary to that, to the intent that man should find ^[b]nothing after him.
¹⁷ I have seen all things in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his ^[c]justice, and there is a wicked man that continueth long in his malice.

[a] Consider wherefore God doth send it and what may comfort thee.
[b] That man should be able to control nothing in his works.
[c] Meaning, that cruel tyrants put the godly to death and let the wicked go free.

summary:

Verses 15–18 – Rejecting Extremes, Fearing God
Righteous people may die young and wicked people may live long (v. 15). Self-righteousness destroys, yet unrestrained evil also ruins. The safe ground is “holding to the one and not letting go of the other” while fearing God.

Balanced Living (vv. 15–18)

• Jesus warns against hypocritical righteousness (Matthew 23) and against sin’s slavery (John 8:34).

John 8: 34
(1599 Geneva Bible)
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily I say unto you,
that whosoever commiteth sin, is the servant of sin.

• The call is not lukewarm compromise but humble realism—recognizing universal sin (Romans 3:23) while clinging to holiness 

Romans 3:23
(1599 Geneva Bible)
For there is no difference: for all have sinned,
and are deprived of the glory of God,
