Ecclesiastes 7:20 in Context — Ecclesiastes 7
18 É bom que retenhas isto, e também não retires tua mão disto, pois quem teme a Deus escapa de tudo isto.
19 A sabedoria fortalece ao sábio, mais do que dez homens de autoridade que estejam na cidade.
20 Verdadeiramente não há homem justo sobre a terra, que faça o bem, e nunca peque.
21 Além disso, não dês atenção a todas as palavras que forem ditas, para que não venhas a ouvir que teu servo te amaldiçoa;
22 Pois teu coração sabe que também tu já amaldiçoaste a outros.
