10Dead flies make a perfumer's oil ferment and stink; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.H4194H2070H8081H7543H5042H887H4592H5531H3368H2451H35192A wise man's heart [goes] to the right, but a fool's heart to the left.H2450H3820H3225H3684H3820H80403Even when the fool walks along the road, his heart lacks sense, and he shows everyone he is a fool.H5530H1980H1870H3820H2638H559H55304If the ruler's anger rises against you, don't leave your place, for calmness puts great offenses to rest.H7307H4910H5927H3240H4725H4832H3240H1419H23995There is an evil I have seen under the sun, an error proceeding from the presence of the ruler:H3426H7451H7200H8121H7684H3318H6440H79896The fool is appointed to great heights, but the rich remain in lowly positions.H5529H5414H7227H4791H6223H3427H82167I have seen slaves on horses, but princes walking on the ground like slaves.H7200H5650H5483H8269H1980H5650H7768The one who digs a pit may fall into it, and the one who breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.H2658H1475H5307H6555H1447H5175H53919The one who quarries stones may be hurt by them; the one who splits trees may be endangered by them.H5265H68H6087H1234H6086H553310If the axe is dull, and one does not sharpen its edge, then one must exert more strength; however, the advantage of wisdom is that it brings success.H1270H6949H7043H6440H1396H2428H2451H3504H378711If the snake bites before it is charmed, then there is no advantage for the charmer.H5175H5391H3908H3956H1167H350412The words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious, but the lips of a fool consume him.H1697H2450H6310H2580H8193H3684H110413The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly, but the end of his speaking is evil madness.H8462H1697H6310H5531H319H6310H7451H194814Yet the fool multiplies words. No one knows what will happen, and who can tell anyone what will happen after him?H5530H7235H1697H120H3045H310H504615The struggles of fools weary them, for they don't know how to go to the city.H5999H3684H3021H3045H3212H589216Woe to you, land, when your king is a household servant, and your princes feast in the morning.H337H776H4428H5288H8269H398H124217Blessed are you, land, when your king is a son of nobles and your princes feast at the proper time— for strength and not for drunkenness.H835H776H4428H1121H2715H8269H398H6256H1369H835818Because of laziness the roof caves in, and because of negligent hands the house leaks.H6103H4746H4355H8220H3027H1004H181119A feast is prepared for laughter, and wine makes life happy, and money is the answer for everything.H3899H6213H7814H3196H8055H2416H3701H603020Do not curse the king even in your thoughts, and do not curse a rich person even in your bedroom, for a bird of the sky may carry the message, and a winged creature may report the matter.H7043H4428H4093H7043H6223H2315H4904H5775H8064H3212H6963H1167H3671H5046H1697
