Wisdom Needed Because No One is Truly Righteous

19 Wisdom gives a wise person more protection

than ten rulers in a city.

20 For there is not one truly righteous person on the earth

who continually does good and never sins.

21 Also, do not pay attention to everything that people say;

otherwise, you might even hear your servant cursing you.

22 For you know in your own heart

that you also have cursed others many times.
