Ecclesiastes 7:19-21

New International Version

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

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

²¹ Do not pay attention to every word people say,
    or you^(E) may hear your servant cursing you—
