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