Ecclesiastes 7:22 bbe — Your heart has knowledge how frequently others have been cursed by you.

Wisdom makes a wise man stronger than ten rulers in a town.

There is no man on earth of such righteousness that he does good and is free from sin all his days.

Do not give ear to all the words which men say, for fear of hearing the curses of your servant.

All this I have put to the test by wisdom; I said, I will be wise, but it was far from me.

Far off is true existence, and very deep; who may have knowledge of it?

I gave my mind to knowledge and to searching for wisdom and the reason of things, and to the discovery that sin is foolish, and that to be foolish is to be without one's senses.
