Ecclesiastes 7:19-22

The Message

²⁰ There’s not one totally good person on earth,
Not one who is truly pure and sinless.

^21-22 Don’t eavesdrop on the conversation of others.
What if the gossip’s about you and you’d rather not hear it?
You’ve done that a few times, haven’t you—said things
Behind someone’s back you wouldn’t say to his face?
