Ecclesiastes 7:20 in Context — Ecclesiastes 7
18 Il est bon que tu retiennes ceci, et que tu ne négliges point cela; car celui qui craint Dieu échappe à toutes ces choses.
19 La sagesse rend le sage plus fort que dix chefs qui sont dans une ville.
20 Non, il n’y a sur la terre point d’homme juste qui fasse le bien et qui ne pèche jamais.
21 Ne fais donc pas attention à toutes les paroles qu’on dit, de peur que tu n’entendes ton serviteur te maudire;
22 car ton cœur a senti bien des fois que tu as toi-même maudit les autres.
