18 It is good that you grasp this,
And also not remove your hand from the other;
For he who
afears God will escape them all.
19 aWisdom strengthens the wise
More than ten rulers of the city.
20 aFor
there is not a just man on earth who does good
And does not sin.
21 Also do not take to heart everything people say,
Lest you hear your servant cursing you.
22 For many times, also, your own heart has known
That even you have cursed others.
23 All this I have
1 proved by wisdom.
aI said, “I will be wise”;
But it
was far from me.
24 aAs for that which is far off and
bexceedingly deep,
Who can find it out?
