Ecclesiastes 7:20

There is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not - יחטא לא lo yechta , that may not sin. There is not a man upon earth, however just he may be, and habituated to do good, but is peccable - liable to commit sin; and therefore should continually watch and pray, and depend upon the Lord. But the text does not say, the just man does commit sin, but simply that he may sin; and so our translators have rendered it in 1 Samuel 2:25 , twice in 1 Kings 8:31 , 1 Kings 8:46 , and 2 Chronicles 6:36 ; and the reader is requested to consult the note on 1 Kings 8:46 , where the proper construction of this word may be found, and the doctrine in question is fully considered.
