< 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 make the oil of the perfumer loathsome and corrupt; thus doth a little folly weigh down 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 mind is at his right hand; but a fool's mind is 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, even when the fool walketh in the way, his understanding 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 anger of a ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place! for gentleness 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; an error which proceedeth from a ruler.
6 It is put folly in high places many and rich [people] in the low place they sit.
Folly is set in many high stations, and the noble sit in a 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 on foot.
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 down a wall, 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 one do not whet the edge, then must he put forth more strength; but an advantage for giving success hath wisdom.
11 If it will bite the snake with not charming and there not [is] profit for [the] master of the tongue.
If a serpent bite before he is charmed, then there is no advantage to the charmer.
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 are his destruction.
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 folly, 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 multiplieth words, though no man knoweth what shall be; and who can tell him what shall be after him?
15 [the] toil of Fools it wearies him that not he knows to walk to a city.
The labor of the foolish man wearieth him, 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 feast 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.
Happy thou, O land, when thy king is a noble, 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 by the slackness of the hands the house leaketh.
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 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 bed-chamber! for a bird of the air shall carry the voice; and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
