Ecclesiastes 7:19-24 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

19. Wisdom does more for a person than ten rulers can do for a city.

20. There is no one on earth who does what is right all the time and never makes a mistake.

21. Don't pay attention to everything people say — you may hear your servant insulting you,

22. and you know yourself that you have insulted other people many times.

23. I used my wisdom to test all of this. I was determined to be wise, but it was beyond me.

24. How can anyone discover what life means? It is too deep for us, too hard to understand.
