The book of Proverbs teaches us that no one is free from sin, but despite this fact, we must always be willing to ask to the Lord for a clean and pure heart: "Who can say, ´I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin´?" Proverbs 20:9.
We live in a global society that continually encourages selfishness and dishonest profit, and those who are not willing to do so are often treated as idiots, perversion is a discernment. But sooner or later, regardless of the good or evil we have done, we will all have to give an account of our actions and thoughts to the eternal wisdom of the creator of all things: "Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment" Ecclesiastes 11:9.
And because of this judgment of God we have to try to never forget that spiritual goal that is the cleanliness of heart, and not fall into the arrogance that we do not need the spiritual goods that come from God. The righteousness ("Do to no one what you yourself hate" Tobit 4:15) is the path that pleases God, and the path we have to strive every day to follow, righteousness is a purifying virtue that gradually brings us closer to God, to that purity of heart, but this spiritual path does not exempt us from error, and everyone in some way, can fall into error and selfishness.
And an example of this was David, who being a man of integrity, upright, and full of the spirit of God, sinned when he fell in love with the beautiful Bathsheba, because she was married to an officer of his army. Also, Solomon for the large number of wives he had, allowed them to worship pagan Gods because many were foreigners.
As mere mortals, we must accept that no matter how much the perfection surrounds us, we can never reach it, and perhaps this is the deepest message of this teaching from the Book of Proverbs.
