Ecclesiastes 10:20 - Prayer Tents

10As dead flies give perfume a bad smell, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.H4194H2070H8081H7543H5042H887H4592H5531H3368H2451H3519 2The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.H2450H3820H3225H3684H3820H8040 3Even as fools walk along the road, they lack sense and show everyone how stupid they are.H5530H1980H1870H3820H2638H559H5530 4If a ruler's anger rises against you, do not leave your post; calmness can lay great offenses to rest.H7307H4910H5927H3240H4725H4832H3240H1419H2399 5There is an evil I have seen under the sun, the sort of error that arises from a ruler:H3426H7451H7200H8121H7684H3318H6440H7989 6Fools are put in many high positions, while the rich occupy the low ones.H5529H5414H7227H4791H6223H3427H8216 7I have seen slaves on horseback, while princes go on foot like slaves.H7200H5650H5483H8269H1980H5650H776 8Whoever digs a pit may fall into it; whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.H2658H1475H5307H6555H1447H5175H5391 9Whoever quarries stones may be injured by them; whoever splits logs may be endangered by them.H5265H68H6087H1234H6086H5533 10If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success.H1270H6949H7043H6440H1396H2428H2451H3504H3787 11If a snake bites before it is charmed, the charmer receives no fee.H5175H5391H3908H3956H1167H3504 12Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious, but fools are consumed by their own lips.H1697H2450H6310H2580H8193H3684H1104 13At the beginning their words are folly; at the end they are wicked madness—H8462H1697H6310H5531H319H6310H7451H1948 14and fools multiply words. No one knows what is coming—who can tell them what will happen after them?H5530H7235H1697H120H3045H310H5046 15The toil of fools wearies them; they do not know the way to town.H5999H3684H3021H3045H3212H5892 16Woe to the land whose king was a servant and whose princes feast in the morning.H337H776H4428H5288H8269H398H1242 17Blessed is the land whose king is of noble birth and whose princes eat at a proper time—for strength and not for drunkenness.H835H776H4428H1121H2715H8269H398H6256H1369H8358 18Through laziness, the rafters sag; because of idle hands, the house leaks.H6103H4746H4355H8220H3027H1004H1811 19A feast is made for laughter, wine makes life merry, and money is the answer for everything.H3899H6213H7814H3196H8055H2416H3701H6030 20Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird in the sky may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say.H7043H4428H4093H7043H6223H2315H4904H5775H8064H3212H6963H1167H3671H5046H1697
