Observations of wisdom and folly.1 ¶ Deadº fliesº cause the ointmentº of the apothecaryºª to send forthºª a stinking savour:ºª [so doth] a littleº follyº him that is in reputationº for wisdomº² [and] honour.º² 2 A wise man'sº heartº [is] at his right hand;º but a fool'sº heartº at his left.º 3 Yea also,² when he that is a foolº² walkethºª by the way,º his wisdomº failethº [him], and he saithºª to every one² [that] he² [is] a fool.º 4 If² the spiritº of the rulerºª rise upºª against² thee, leave¹ª² not² thy place;º for² yieldingº pacifieth¹ª² greatº offences.º 5 There isº an evilº [which] I have seenºª under² the sun,º as an errorº [which] proceedethºª² fromº² the ruler:º 6 Follyº is setºª in greatº dignity,º and the richº sitºª in low place.º 7 I have seenºª servantsº upon² horses,º and princesº walkingºª as servantsº upon² the earth.º 8 He that diggethºª a pitº shall fallºª into it; and whoso breakethºª an hedge,º a serpentº shall biteºª him. 9 Whoso removethºª stonesº shall be hurtºª therewith; [and] he that cleavethºª woodº shall be endangeredºª thereby. 10 If² the ironº be blunt,ºª and he² do not² whetºª the edge,º then must he put¹ª to² more strength:º but wisdomº [is] profitableº to direct.ºª 11 Surely² the serpentº will biteºª without² enchantment;º and a babblerºº is no² better.º 12 The wordsº of a wise man'sº mouthº [are] gracious;º but the lipsº of a foolº will swallow upºª himself. 13 The beginningº of the wordsº of his mouthº [is] foolishness:º and the endº of his talkº [is] mischievousº madness.º 14 A foolº also is fullºª of words:º a manº cannot² tellºª what shall be;²²² and what² shall be² afterº² him, who² can tellºª him? 15 The labourº of the foolishº weariethºª every one of them, because² he knowethºª not² how to go¹ª² to² the city.º [1] Ex 30:34; 2Ch 19:2; Ne 6:13; 13:26; Mt 5:13; Ga 2:12.
