Ecclesiastes 7:21-23

New King James Version

²¹ Also do not take to heart everything people say,
Lest you hear your servant cursing you.
²² For many times, also, your own heart has known
That even you have cursed others.

²³ All this I have ^[a]proved by wisdom.
^(A)I said, “I will be wise”;
But it was far from me.
