Ecclesiastes 10
1 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.
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 [the] heart of A wise [person] [is] to right [hand] his and [the] heart of a fool [is] to left [hand] his.
A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.
3 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.
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 it will go up towards you place your may not you leave for calmness it will cause to rest sins great.
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 like an inadvertence that [is] going forth from to before the ruler.
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceeds from the ruler:
6 It is put folly in high places many and rich [people] in the low place they sit.
Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
7 I have seen slaves on horses and princes [who] walk like slaves on the ground.
I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking as servants on the earth.
8 [one who] digs A pit in it he will fall and [one who] breaks through a wall it will bite him a snake.
He that digs a pit shall fall into it; and whoever breaks an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
9 [one who] quarries Stones he will be hurt by them [one who] cleaves wood he will be endangered by them.
Whoever removes stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that splits wood shall be endangered thereby.
10 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.
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 If it will bite the snake with not charming and there not [is] profit for [the] master of the tongue.
Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
12 [the] words of [the] mouth of A wise [person] [are] favor and [the] lips of a fool it swallows him.
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 Mouth his [is] folly and [the] end of mouth his [is] madness evil.
The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
14 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.
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] toil of Fools it wearies him that not he knows to walk to a city.
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 that king your [is] a youth and princes your in the morning they eat.
Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!
17 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.
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 In laziness it sinks the rafter[s] and in lowering of hands it leaks the house.
By much slothfulness the building decays; and through idleness of the hands the house drops through.
19 For laughter [people are] making food and wine it makes glad life and money it answers everything.
A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry: but money answers all things.
20 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.
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.
