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.

23 All this I have¹ 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? ‡
