אַל־תְּהִ֤י צַדִּיק֙ הַרְבֵּ֔ה וְאַל־תִּתְחַכַּ֖ם יוֹתֵ֑ר לָ֖מָּה תִּשּׁוֹמֵֽם׃
Sei deshalb nicht zu gerecht und mache dich nicht zu weise, warum willst du zu Schanden werden?
Or Neerav
Similarly, King David, peace upon him, stated, You, God, are my portion, I have promised to keep Your word (Ps. 119:57). This means that, in order to keep the word of God, I may not abase myself. Concerning this it is said, Do not be overly righteous (Eccles. 7:16). I, however, declare that God is my portion. My soul has a portion in God on high, and I am as worthy of the word of God as one of the ministering angels.
