Ecclesiastes 10
- 1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking smell: so does a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor.
- 2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.
- 3 Yes also, when he that is a fool walks by the way, his wisdom fails him, and he says to every one that he is a fool.
- 4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against you, leave not your place; for yielding pacifies great offenses.
- 5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceeds from the ruler:
- 6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
- 7 I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking as servants on the earth.
- 8 He that digs a pit shall fall into it; and whoever breaks an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
- 9 Whoever removes stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that splits wood shall be endangered thereby.
- 10 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.
- 11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
- 12 The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
- 13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
- 14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
- 15 The labor of the foolish wearies every one of them, because he knows not how to go to the city. ¶
- 16 Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!
- 17 Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! ¶
- 18 By much slothfulness the building decays; and through idleness of the hands the house drops through. ¶
- 19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry: but money answers all things. ¶
- 20 Curse not the king, no not in your thought; and curse not the rich in your bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which has wings shall tell the matter.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
