10Dead flies putrefy the perfumer's ointment, And cause it to give off a foul odor; So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor.H4194H2070H8081H7543H5042H887H4592H5531H3368H2451H35192A wise man's heart is at his right hand, But a fool's heart at his left.H2450H3820H3225H3684H3820H80403Even when a fool walks along the way, He lacks wisdom, And he shows everyone that he is a fool.H5530H1980H1870H3820H2638H559H55304If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, Do not leave your post; For conciliation pacifies great offenses.H7307H4910H5927H3240H4725H4832H3240H1419H23995There is an evil I have seen under the sun, As an error proceeding from the ruler:H3426H7451H7200H8121H7684H3318H6440H79896Folly is set in great dignity, While the rich sit in a lowly place.H5529H5414H7227H4791H6223H3427H82167I have seen servants on horses, While princes walk on the ground like servants.H7200H5650H5483H8269H1980H5650H7768He who digs a pit will fall into it, And whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a serpent.H2658H1475H5307H6555H1447H5175H53919He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, And he who splits wood may be endangered by it.H5265H68H6087H1234H6086H553310If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.H1270H6949H7043H6440H1396H2428H2451H3504H378711A serpent may bite when it is not charmed; The babbler is no different.H5175H5391H3908H3956H1167H350412The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious, But the lips of a fool shall swallow him up;H1697H2450H6310H2580H8193H3684H110413The words of his mouth begin with foolishness, And the end of his talk is raving madness.H8462H1697H6310H5531H319H6310H7451H194814A fool also multiplies words. No man knows what is to be; Who can tell him what will be after him?H5530H7235H1697H120H3045H310H504615The labor of fools wearies them, For they do not even know how to go to the city!H5999H3684H3021H3045H3212H589216Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, And your princes feast in the morning!H337H776H4428H5288H8269H398H124217Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, And your princes feast at the proper time—For strength and not for drunkenness!H835H776H4428H1121H2715H8269H398H6256H1369H835818Because of laziness the building decays, And through idleness of hands the house leaks.H6103H4746H4355H8220H3027H1004H181119A feast is made for laughter, And wine makes merry; But money answers everything.H3899H6213H7814H3196H8055H2416H3701H603020Do not curse the king, even in your thought; Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; For a bird of the air may carry your voice, And a bird in flight may tell the matter.H7043H4428H4093H7043H6223H2315H4904H5775H8064H3212H6963H1167H3671H5046H1697
