אַל־תְּהִ֤י צַדִּיק֙ הַרְבֵּ֔ה וְאַל־תִּתְחַכַּ֖ם יוֹתֵ֑ר לָ֖מָּה תִּשּׁוֹמֵֽם׃
Ne sois pas juste à l’excès, ne sois pas sage plus qu’il ne faut; pourquoi t’exposer à la ruine?
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.
