Ecclesiastes 7:20 in Context — Ecclesiastes 7
18 Bueno es que tomes esto, y también de estotro no apartes tu mano; porque el que á Dios teme, saldrá con todo.
19 La sabiduría fortifica al sabio más que diez poderosos la ciudad en que fueron.
20 Ciertamente no hay hombre justo en la tierra, que haga bien y nunca peque.
21 Tampoco apliques tu corazón á todas las cosas que se hablaren, porque no oigas á tu siervo que dice mal de ti:
22 Porque tu corazón sabe, como tú también dijiste mal de otros muchas veces.
