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