Ecclesiastes 7:19 New English Translation (NET Bible)

Wisdom Needed Because No One is Truly Righteous

19 Wisdom gives a wise person more protection 
than ten rulers in a city.

 

Politics satire: I’m thankful for the exceptions

 

It is called a crisis by them,

who are fat and flashy.

A crisis for a system

that is doomed to fall.

The rulers of the nation

For sure are very selfish.

They have no concern

unless they need your call.

 

They search day and night

for someone who wants to listen.

Someone who is not elected

who can line their pockets well.

And when they come to talk

we will let them convince us.

That they are just one of us

on our side as we can tell.
