Ecclesiastes 7:22

New English Translation

For you know in your own heart that you also have cursed others many times.

See the chapter Copy

Then the king said to Shimei, “You are well aware of the way you mistreated my father David. The Lord will punish you for what you did.

Also, do not pay attention to everything that people say; otherwise, you might even hear your servant cursing you.

I have examined all this by wisdom; I said, “I am determined to comprehend this” – but it was beyond my grasp.

For out of the heart come evil ideas, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse people made in God’s image.
