Ecclesiastes 7:18-20

New King James Version

¹⁸It is good that you grasp this,
And also not remove your hand from the other;
For he who ^(A)fears God will ^[a]escape them all.

¹⁹^(B)Wisdom strengthens the wise
More than ten rulers of the city.

²⁰^(C)For there is not a just man on earth who does good
And does not sin.

Ecclesiastes 7:18-20

New International Version

¹⁸It is good to grasp the one
and not let go of the other.
Whoever fears God^(A) will avoid all extremes.^[a]

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

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