ECC-10:1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send
forth a stinking savour: [so doth] a little folly him that is in
reputation for wisdom [and] honour.
ECC-10:2 A wise man's heart [is] at his right hand; but a fool's
heart at his left.
ECC-10:3 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.
ECC-10:4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave
not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
ECC-10:5 There is an evil [which] I have seen under the sun, as
an error [which] proceedeth from the ruler:
ECC-10:6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low
place.
ECC-10:7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking
as servants upon the earth.
ECC-10:8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso
breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
ECC-10:9 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; [and] he
that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.
ECC-10:10 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.
ECC-10:11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and
a babbler is no better.
ECC-10:12 The words of a wise man's mouth [are] gracious; but
the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
ECC-10:13 The beginning of the words of his mouth [is]
foolishness: and the end of his talk [is] mischievous madness.
ECC-10:14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what
shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
ECC-10:15 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them,
because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
ECC-10:16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king [is] a child, and
thy princes eat in the morning!
ECC-10:17 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 drunkenness!
ECC-10:18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and
through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
ECC-10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry:
but money answereth all [things].
ECC-10:20 Curse not the 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.
