Ecclesiastes 7:21

“Also don't take heed to all words that are spoken, lest you hear your servant curse you;”

Verse in context — Ecclesiastes 7

Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.

Surely there is not a righteous man on earth, who does good and doesn't sin.

Also don't take heed to all words that are spoken, lest you hear your servant curse you;

for often your own heart knows that you yourself have likewise cursed others.

All this have I proved in wisdom. I said, "I will be wise;" but it was far from me.
