Ecclesiastes 10
- 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. 🔗
- A wise man2019s heart is at his right hand; but a fool2019s heart at his left. 🔗
- 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. 🔗
- If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences. 🔗
- There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: 🔗
- Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. 🔗
- I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. 🔗
- He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 🔗
- Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby. 🔗
- 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. 🔗
- Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better. 🔗
- The words of a wise man2019s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. 🔗
- The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. 🔗
- A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him? 🔗
- The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city. 🔗
- Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning! 🔗
- 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! 🔗
- By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. 🔗
- A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things. 🔗
- 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. 🔗
