Ecc 10:1 As dead flies cause the perfumer’s ointment to stink and ferment; so a little foolishness is heavier than wisdom and than honor.
\nEcc 10:2 The heart of the wise is toward his right, but the fool’s heart toward his left.
\nEcc 10:3 And also, in the way in which a stupid one walks, his heart fails, and he says to all that he is a fool.
\nEcc 10:4 If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, do not leave your place; for composure quiets great offenses.
\nEcc 10:5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun, sins which come from the face of the ruler:
\nEcc 10:6 folly is set in many high positions, and many rich men sit in low situations.
\nEcc 10:7 I have seen slaves on horses, and rulers walking as slaves on the earth.
\nEcc 10:8 He who digs a pit may fall into it; and one breaking a wall, a snake may bite him.
\nEcc 10:9 Whoever pulls out stones may be hurt with them; he who splits trees may be endangered by them.
\nEcc 10:10 If the iron is blunt, and he does not whet the mouths, then he must put more strength to it. But wisdom is an advantage giving success.
\nEcc 10:11 If the snake will bite without charming, then there is no advantage to a master of tongue.
\nEcc 10:12 The words of a wise mouth are grace, but the lips of a stupid one swallow him;
\nEcc 10:13 the beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his mouth is evil madness.
\nEcc 10:14 Yet the stupid one makes many words; a man knows not what they shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
\nEcc 10:15 The labor of fools wearies him, because he does not know how to go to the city.
\nEcc 10:16 Woe to you, O land, when your king is a boy, and your leaders eat in the morning.
\nEcc 10:17 Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your leaders eat in due time, in strength, and not in drinking.
\nEcc 10:18 The framework tumbles through laziness; and through lowering of hands, the house leaks.
\nEcc 10:19 Bread is made for laughter, and wine gladdens life; but silver answers all things.
\nEcc 10:20 Also, do not curse a king in your thought; and do not curse the rich in your bedrooms; for a bird of the heavens may carry the voice; yea, the lord of wings may tell the matter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
