Ecclesiastes 10
Dead
flies
cause
the
ointment
of
the
a
apothecary
to
send
forth
a
stinking
savour:
so
doth
a
little
b
folly
him
that
is
in
reputation
for
wisdom
and
honour.
2 A
wise
man's
heart
is
at
his
right
hand;
but
a
fool's
heart
at
his
left.
3 Yea
also,
when
he
that
is
a
fool
walketh
by
the
way,
his
wisdom
faileth
him,
and
he
saith
to
every
one
that
he
is
a
fool.
4 If
the
spirit
of
the
ruler
rise
up
against
thee,
leave
not
thy
place;
for
yielding
pacifieth
great
offences.
5 There
is
an
evil
which
I
have
seen
under
the
sun,
as
an
error
which
proceedeth
from
the
ruler:
6 Folly
is
set
in
great
dignity,
and
the
rich
sit
in
low
place.
7 I
have
seen
a
servants
upon
horses,
and
princes
walking
as
servants
upon
the
earth.
8 He
that
diggeth
a
pit
shall
a
fall
into
it;
and
whoso
breaketh
an
hedge,
a
serpent
shall
bite
him.
9 Whoso
removeth
stones
shall
be
hurt
therewith;
and
he
that
cleaveth
wood
shall
be
endangered
thereby.
10 If
the
iron
be
blunt,
and
he
do
not
whet
the
edge,
then
must
he
put
to
more
strength:
but
wisdom
is
profitable
to
direct.
11 Surely
the
serpent
will
bite
without
enchantment;
and
a
babbler
is
no
better.
12 The
a
words
of
a
wise
man's
mouth
are
gracious;
but
the
lips
of
a
b
fool
will
swallow
up
himself.
13 The
beginning
of
the
words
of
his
mouth
is
foolishness:
and
the
end
of
his
talk
is
mischievous
a
madness.
14 A
fool
also
is
full
of
words:
a
man
cannot
tell
what
shall
be;
and
what
shall
be
after
him,
who
can
tell
him?
15 The
labour
of
the
foolish
wearieth
every
one
of
them,
because
he
knoweth
not
how
to
go
to
the
city.
16 Woe
to
thee,
O
land,
when
thy
king
is
a
a
child,
and
thy
princes
eat
in
the
morning!
17 Blessed
art
thou,
O
land,
when
thy
king
is
the
son
of
nobles,
and
thy
princes
eat
in
due
season,
for
strength,
and
not
for
a
drunkenness!
18 By
much
a
slothfulness
the
building
decayeth;
and
through
b
idleness
of
the
hands
the
house
droppeth
through.
19 A
feast
is
made
for
laughter,
and
wine
maketh
merry:
but
money
answereth
all
things.
20 Curse
not
the
a
king,
no
not
in
thy
thought;
and
curse
not
the
rich
in
thy
bedchamber:
for
a
bird
of
the
air
shall
carry
the
voice,
and
that
which
hath
wings
shall
tell
the
matter.
