< 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 oil of the perfumer to produce an evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh 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 the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone 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 rises up against you, don’t leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest.
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, the sort of 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 a 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 like 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 who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.
9 [one who] quarries Stones he will be hurt by them [one who] cleaves wood he will be endangered by them.
Whoever carves out stones may be injured by them. Whoever splits wood may be endangered by it.
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 ax is blunt, and one doesn’t sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.
11 If it will bite the snake with not charming and there not [is] profit for [the] master of the tongue.
If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue.
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 a fool is swallowed by his own lips.
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 multiplies words. Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will 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 fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn’t know 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, 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.
Happy are you, 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 slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.
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 the life glad; and money is the answer for 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.
Don’t curse the king, no, not in your thoughts; and don’t curse the rich in your bedroom, for a bird of the sky may carry your voice, and that which has wings may tell the matter.
