Ecclesiastes 7:19-22

King James Version

¹⁹Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.

²⁰For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

²¹Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:

²²For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.

Ecclesiastes 7:19-22

New International Version

¹⁹Wisdom^(A) makes one wise person more powerful^(B)
than ten rulers in a city.

²⁰Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous,^(C)
no one who does what is right and never sins.^(D)

²¹Do not pay attention to every word people say,
or you^(E) may hear your servant cursing you—
²²for you know in your heart
that many times you yourself have cursed others.
