ecclesiastes 7:21 Also, do not take seriously all words which are spoken, lest you hear your servant cursing you.

< Ecclesiastes 7:20
Ecclesiastes 7:22 >

      21. As therefore thou being far from perfectly "just" thyself, hast much to be forgiven by God, do not take too strict account, as the self-righteous do (Ec 7:16; Lu 18:9, 11), and thereby shorten their lives (Ec 7:15, 16), of words spoken against thee by others, for example, thy servant: Thou art their "fellow servant" before God (Mt 18:32-35).
