< Ecclesiastes 10 >
1 Pestilent flies will corrupt a preparation of sweet ointment: [and] a little wisdom is more precious than great glory of folly.
Flies of death it causes to stink it ferments [the] oil of a perfumer [is] weighty more than wisdom more than honor folly a little.
2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
[the] heart of A wise [person] [is] to right [hand] his and [the] heart of a fool [is] to left [hand] his.
3 Yes, and whenever a fool walks by the way, his heart will fail him, and all that he thinks of is folly.
And also on the way (like when a fool *Q(K)*) [is] going heart his is lacking and he says to everyone [is] a fool he.
4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against you, leave not your place; for soothing will put an end to great offenses.
If [the] spirit of the ruler it will go up towards you place your may not you leave for calmness it will cause to rest sins great.
5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, wherein an error has proceeded from the ruler.
There [is] an evil [which] I have seen under the sun like an inadvertence that [is] going forth from to before the ruler.
6 The fool has been set in very high places, while rich men would sit in a low one.
It is put folly in high places many and rich [people] in the low place they sit.
7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants on the earth.
I have seen slaves on horses and princes [who] walk like slaves on the ground.
8 He that digs a pit shall fall into it; and him that breaks down a hedge a serpent shall bite.
[one who] digs A pit in it he will fall and [one who] breaks through a wall it will bite him a snake.
9 He that removes stones shall be troubled thereby; he that cleaves wood shall be endangered thereby.
[one who] quarries Stones he will be hurt by them [one who] cleaves wood he will be endangered by them.
10 If the axe-head should fall off, then the man troubles his countenance, and he must put forth more strength: and [in that case] skill is of no advantage to a man.
If it is blunt the iron [axe] and he not faces he has sharpened and strength he will make strong and [is] advantage (to give success *Q(k)*) wisdom.
11 If a serpent bite when there is no [charmer's] whisper, then there is no advantage to the charmer.
If it will bite the snake with not charming and there not [is] profit for [the] master of the tongue.
12 The words of a wise mouth are gracious: but the lips of a fool will swallow him up.
[the] words of [the] mouth of A wise [person] [are] favor and [the] lips of a fool it swallows him.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly: and the end of his talk mischievous madness.
[the] beginning of [the] words of Mouth his [is] folly and [the] end of mouth his [is] madness evil.
14 A fool moreover multiplies words: man knows not what has been, nor what will be: who shall tell him what will come after him?
And the fool he multiplies words not he knows the person what? that will be and which it will be from after him who? will he tell to him.
15 The labor of fools will afflict them, [as that of one] who knows not to go to the city.
[the] toil of Fools it wearies him that not he knows to walk to a city.
16 Woe to you, O city, whose king is young, and your princes eat in the morning!
Woe! to you O land that king your [is] a youth and princes your in the morning they eat.
17 Blessed are you, O land, whose king is a son of nobles, and whose princes shall eat seasonably, for strength, and shall not be ashamed.
How blessed [are] you O land that king your [is] a son of nobles and princes your at the appropriate time they eat for strength and not for drinking.
18 By slothful neglect a building will be brought low: and by idleness of the hands the house will fall to pieces.
In laziness it sinks the rafter[s] and in lowering of hands it leaks the house.
19 Men prepare bread for laughter, and wine and oil that the living should rejoice: but to money all things will humbly yield obedience.
For laughter [people are] making food and wine it makes glad life and money it answers everything.
20 Even in your conscience, curse not the king; and curse not the rich in your bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry your voice, and that which has wings shall report your speech.
Also in mind your a king may not you curse and in [the] chambers of lying down your may not you curse a rich [person] for bird of the heavens it will carry the sound and an owner (of wings *Q(K)*) it will tell [the] matter.
