Ecclesiastes 10
|
- 10:1
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.
|
- 10:2 A wise
man's
heart is at his right
hand; but a
fool's
heart at his
left.
|
- 10:3 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.
|
- 10:4 If the
spirit of the
ruler rise
up against thee,
leave not thy
place; for
yielding
pacifieth
great
offences.
|
- 10:5 There
is an
evil which I have
seen under the
sun, as an
error which
proceedeth
from the
ruler:
|
- 10:6
Folly is
set in
great
dignity, and the
rich
sit in low
place.
|
- 10:7 I have
seen
servants upon
horses, and
princes
walking as
servants upon the
earth.
|
- 10:8 He that
diggeth a
pit shall
fall into it; and whoso
breaketh an
hedge, a
serpent shall
bite him.
|
- 10:9 Whoso
removeth
stones shall be
hurt therewith; and he that
cleaveth
wood shall be
endangered thereby.
|
- 10:10 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.
|
- 10:11 Surely the
serpent will
bite without
enchantment; and a
babbler
is no
better.
|
- 10:12 The
words of a wise
man's
mouth are
gracious; but the
lips of a
fool will swallow
up himself.
|
- 10:13 The
beginning of the
words of his
mouth is
foolishness: and the
end of his
talk is
mischievous
madness.
|
- 10:14 A
fool also is
full of
words: a
man cannot
tell what shall be; and what shall be
after him, who can
tell him?
|
- 10:15 The
labour of the
foolish
wearieth every one of them, because he
knoweth not how to
go to the
city.
|
- 10:16
Woe to thee, O
land, when thy
king is a
child, and thy
princes
eat in the
morning!
|
- 10:17
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!
|
- 10:18 By much
slothfulness the
building
decayeth; and through
idleness of the
hands the
house droppeth
through.
|
- 10:19 A
feast is
made for
laughter, and
wine maketh
merry
*: but
money
answereth all things.
|
- 10:20
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.
