Ecclesiastes 10
1 fly death to stink to bubble oil to mix precious from wisdom from glory folly little
Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth an offensive odor: [so doth] a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom [and] honor.
2 heart wise to/for right his and heart fool to/for left his
A wise man's heart [is] at his right hand; but a fool's heart [is] at his left.
3 and also in/on/with way: road (like/as which/that fool *Q(K)*) to go: walk heart his to lack and to say to/for all fool he/she/it
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 spirit: temper [the] to rule to ascend: rise upon you place your not to rest for healing to rest sin great: large
If the spirit of the ruler riseth against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offenses.
5 there distress: evil to see: see underneath: under [the] sun like/as unintentionally which/that to come out: come from to/for face: before [the] domineering
There is an evil [which] I have seen under the sun, as an error [which] proceedeth from the ruler:
6 to give: put [the] folly in/on/with height many and rich in/on/with poverty to dwell
Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
7 to see: see servant/slave upon horse and ruler to go: walk like/as servant/slave upon [the] land: soil
I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
8 to search pit in/on/with him to fall: fall and to break through wall to bite him serpent
He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoever breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
9 to set out stone to hurt in/on/with them to break up/open tree: stick to endanger in/on/with them
Whoever removeth stones shall be hurt by them; [and] he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered by it.
10 if be blunt [the] iron and he/she/it not face to lighten and strength to prevail and advantage (to succeed *Q(k)*) wisdom
If the iron is blunt, and he doth not whet the edge, then must he use more strength: but wisdom [is] profitable to direct.
11 if to bite [the] serpent in/on/with not charm and nothing advantage to/for master: [master of] [the] tongue
Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
12 word lip wise favor and lips fool to swallow up him
The words of a wise man's mouth [are] gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
13 beginning word lip his folly and end lip: word his madness bad: evil
The beginning of the words of his mouth [is] foolishness: and the end of his talk [is] mischievous madness.
14 and [the] fool to multiply word not to know [the] man what? which/that to be and which to be from after him who? to tell to/for 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 trouble [the] fool be weary/toil him which not to know to/for to go: journey to(wards) city
The labor of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
16 woe! to/for you land: country/planet which/that king your youth and ruler your in/on/with morning to eat
Woe to thee, O land, when thy king [is] a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
17 blessed you land: country/planet which/that king your son: child noble and ruler your in/on/with time to eat in/on/with might and not in/on/with drunkenness
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/on/with sluggishness to sink [the] rafter and in/on/with idleness hand to drip [the] house: home
By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
19 to/for laughter to make food: bread and wine to rejoice life and [the] silver: money to answer [obj] [the] all
A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all [things].
20 also in/on/with knowledge your king not to lighten and in/on/with chamber bed your not to lighten rich for bird [the] heaven to go: take [obj] [the] voice and master: men (wing *Q(K)*) to tell word: thing
Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bed-chamber: for a bird of the air will carry the voice, and that which hath wings will tell the matter.
