19The wisdom giveth strength to a wise man, more than wealth the rulers who have been in a city.
20Because there is not a righteous man on earth that doth good and sinneth not.
21Also to all the words that they speak give not thy heart, that thou hear not thy servant reviling thee.
22For many times also hath thy heart known that thou thyself also hast reviled others.
23All this I have tried by wisdom; I have said, `I am wise,` and it [is] far from me.
24Far off [is] that which hath been, and deep, deep, who doth find it?
25I have turned round, also my heart, to know and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and reason, and to know the wrong of folly, and of foolishness the madness.
