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 send forth an evil odor; [so] doth 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 *QK) [is] going heart his [is] lacking and he says to everyone [is] a fool he.
Yea also, when the fool walketh by 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 spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for gentleness allayeth 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 it were 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 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 like 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 through 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 heweth out stones shall be hurt therewith; [and] he that cleaveth wood is 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 *Qk) wisdom.
If the iron be blunt, and one 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.
If the serpent bite before it is charmed, then is there no advantage in 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 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 multiplieth words: [yet] man knoweth not what shall be; and that which 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 labor of fools wearieth every one of them; for 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.
Happy 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 slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness 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 maketh glad the life; and 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 *QK) it will tell [the] matter.
Revile not the king, no, not in thy thought; and revile not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the heavens shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
