Ecclesiastes 7:22

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

And you know that many times you too have said bad things about other people.

See the chapter Copy

We use our tongues to praise our Lord and Father, but then we curse people who were created in God’s likeness.

All these bad things begin in the mind: evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual sins, stealing, lying, and insulting people.

You know all the bad things you did to my father David. Now the Lord will punish you for it.

Don’t listen to everything people say. You might hear your own servant saying bad things about you.

I used my wisdom and thought about all these things. I wanted to be wise, but I couldn’t do it.
