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 savour: [so doth] a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom [and] honour.
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.
Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth [him], and he saith 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 thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
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] proceedeth 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 upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon 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 diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh 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.
Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; [and] he that cleaveth 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 labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth 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 thee, O land, when thy king [is] a child, and thy 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 [art] thou, O land, when thy king [is] the son of nobles, and thy 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 decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth 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 maketh merry: but money answereth 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 thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
