Ecclesiastes 7:20-22
The Message
Ecclesiastes 7:20-22
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?
Ecclesiastes 7:20-22
New International Version
Ecclesiastes 7:20-22
New International Version
20 Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous,(A)
no one who does what is right and never sins.(B)
21 Do not pay attention to every word people say,
or you(C) may hear your servant cursing you—
22 for you know in your heart
that many times you yourself have cursed others.
The Message (MSG)
