Ecclesiastes 10
English Standard Version Help
10Dead flies make the perfumer's ointment give off a stench; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.H4194H2070H8081H7543H5042H887H4592H5531H3368H2451H3519 2A wise man's heart inclines him to the right, but a fool's heart to the left.H2450H3820H3225H3684H3820H8040 3Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.H5530H1980H1870H3820H2638H559H5530 4If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for calmness will lay great offenses to rest.H7307H4910H5927H3240H4725H4832H3240H1419H2399 5There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were an error proceeding from the ruler:H3426H7451H7200H8121H7684H3318H6440H7989 6folly is set in many high places, and the rich sit in a low place.H5529H5414H7227H4791H6223H3427H8216 7I have seen slaves on horses, and princes walking on the ground like slaves.H7200H5650H5483H8269H1980H5650H776 8He who digs a pit will fall into it, and a serpent will bite him who breaks through a wall.H2658H1475H5307H6555H1447H5175H5391 9He who quarries stones is hurt by them, and he who splits logs is endangered by them.H5265H68H6087H1234H6086H5533 10If the iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge, he must use more strength, but wisdom helps one to succeed.H1270H6949H7043H6440H1396H2428H2451H3504H3787 11If the serpent bites before it is charmed, there is no advantage to the charmer.H5175H5391H3908H3956H1167H3504 12The words of a wise man's mouth win him favor, but the lips of a fool consume him.H1697H2450H6310H2580H8193H3684H1104 13The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is evil madness.H8462H1697H6310H5531H319H6310H7451H1948 14A fool multiplies words, though no man knows what is to be, and who can tell him what will be after him?H5530H7235H1697H120H3045H310H5046 15The toil of a fool wearies him, for he does not know the way to the city.H5999H3684H3021H3045H3212H5892 16Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, and your princes feast in the morning!H337H776H4428H5288H8269H398H1242 17Happy are you, O land, when your king is the son of the nobility, and your princes feast at the proper time, for strength, and not for drunkenness!H835H776H4428H1121H2715H8269H398H6256H1369H8358 18Through sloth the roof sinks in, and through indolence the house leaks.H6103H4746H4355H8220H3027H1004H1811 19Bread is made for laughter, and wine gladdens life, and money answers everything.H3899H6213H7814H3196H8055H2416H3701H6030 20Even in your thoughts, do not curse the king, nor in your bedroom curse the rich, for a bird of the air will carry your voice, or some winged creature tell the matter.H7043H4428H4093H7043H6223H2315H4904H5775H8064H3212H6963H1167H3671H5046H1697
