NET Bible
"Also, do not pay attention to everything that people say; otherwise, you might even hear your servant cursing you."
— Ecclesiastes 7:21, NET Bible
“Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:”
“Also take not heed unto all words that are spoken, lest thou hear thy servant curse thee; ”
“Also don't take heed to all words that are spoken, lest you hear your servant curse you;”
“For there is no just man upon earth, that doth good, and sinneth not.”
“Do not give ear to all the words which men say, for fear of hearing the curses of your servant.”
“Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:”
It is best to take hold of one warning without letting go of the other warning; for the one who fears God will follow both warnings.
Wisdom Needed Because No One is Truly Righteous Wisdom gives a wise person more protection than ten rulers in a city.
For there is not one truly righteous person on the earth who continually does good and never sins.
Also, do not pay attention to everything that people say; otherwise, you might even hear your servant cursing you.
For you know in your own heart that you also have cursed others many times.
Human Wisdom is Limited I have examined all this by wisdom; I said,“I am determined to comprehend this”– but it was beyond my grasp.
Whatever has happened is beyond human understanding; it is far deeper than anyone can fathom.
