  • 1 Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to produce an evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.
  • 2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left.
  • 3 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 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, the sort of error which proceeds from the ruler.
  • 6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.
  • 7 I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking like servants on the earth.
  • 8 He who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.
  • 9 Whoever carves out stones may be injured by them. Whoever splits wood may be endangered thereby.
  • 10 If the ax is blunt, and one doesn’t sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.
  • 11 If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue.
  • 12 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 his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
  • 14 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 labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn’t know how to go to the city.
  • 16 Woe to you, land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!
  • 17 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 By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.
  • 19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes the life glad; and money is the answer for all things.
  • 20 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.
