Ecclesiastes 7:20-23 Modern English Version (MEV)

20. For there is not a righteous man on earthwho only does good and refrains from sin.

21. Do not give heed to everything people say,lest you hear your servant cursing you.

22. Your heart knowsthat many times you have spoken a curse against others.

23. All this I have tested by wisdom. I said,“I will be wise,”but it was far from me.
