Ecclesiastes: Chapter 10 (ylt)

Ecclesiastes 10
- 1 Dead flies cause a perfumer's perfume To send forth a stink; The precious by reason of wisdom--By reason of honour--a little folly!
- 2 The heart of the wise is at his right hand, And the heart of a fool at his left.
- 3 And also, when he that is a fool Is walking in the way, his heart is lacking, And he hath said to every one, `He is a fool.'
- 4 If the spirit of the ruler go up against thee, Thy place leave not, For yielding quieteth great sinners.
- 5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun, As an error that goeth out from the ruler,
- 6 He hath set the fool in many high places, And the rich in a low place do sit.
- 7 I have seen servants on horses, And princes walking as servants on the earth.
- 8 Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And whoso is breaking a hedge, a serpent biteth him.
- 9 Whoso is removing stones is grieved by them, Whoso is cleaving trees endangered by them.
- 10 If the iron hath been blunt, And he the face hath not sharpened, Then doth he increase strength, And wisdom is advantageous to make right.
- 11 If the serpent biteth without enchantment, Then there is no advantage to a master of the tongue.
- 12 Words of the mouth of the wise are gracious, And the lips of a fool swallow him up.
- 13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly, And the latter end of his mouth Is mischievous madness.
- 14 And the fool multiplieth words: `Man knoweth not that which is, And that which is after him, who doth declare to him?'
- 15 The labour of the foolish wearieth him, In that he hath not known to go unto the city.
- 16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a youth, And thy princes do eat in the morning.
- 17 Happy art thou, O land, When thy king is a son of freemen, And thy princes do eat in due season, For might, and not for drunkenness.
- 18 By slothfulness is the wall brought low, And by idleness of the hands doth the house drop.
- 19 For mirth they are making a feast, And wine maketh life joyful, And the silver answereth with all.
- 20 Even in thy mind a king revile not, And in the inner parts of thy bed-chamber Revile not the rich: For a fowl of the heavens causeth the voice to go, And a possessor of wings declareth the word.
