Dead 4194 flies 2070 cause the ointment 8081 of the apothecary 7543-6 to send forth 5042-55 a stinking savour: 887-55 [so doth] a little 4592 folly 5531 him that is in reputation 3368 for wisdom 2451 [and] honour. 3519 |
| 2 |
A wise man's 2450 heart 3820 [is] at his right hand; 3225 but a fool's 3684 heart 3820 at his left. 8040 |
| 3 |
Yea also, when he that is a fool 5530 walketh 1980-6 by the way, 1870 his wisdom 3820 faileth 2638 [him], and he saith 559-1 to every one [that] he [is] a fool. 5530 |
| 4 |
If the spirit 7307 of the ruler 4910-6 rise up 5927-4 against thee, leave 3240-55 not thy place; 4725 for yielding 4832 pacifieth 3240-55 great 1419 offences. 2399 |
| 5 |
There is 3426 an evil 7451 [which] I have seen 7200-1 under the sun, 8121 as an error 7684 [which] proceedeth 3318-6 from 6440 the ruler: 7989 |
| 6 |
Folly 5529 is set 5414-8 in great 7227 dignity, 4791 and the rich 6223 sit 3427-4 in low place. 8216 |
| 7 |
I have seen 7200-1 servants 5650 upon horses, 5483 and princes 8269 walking 1980-6 as servants 5650 upon the earth. 776 |
| 8 |
He that diggeth 2658-6 a pit 1475 shall fall 5307-4 into it; and whoso breaketh 6555-6 an hedge, 1447 a serpent 5175 shall bite 5391-4 him. |
| 9 |
Whoso removeth 5265-56 stones 68 shall be hurt 6087-11 therewith; [and] he that cleaveth 1234-6 wood 6086 shall be endangered 5533-11 thereby. |
| 10 |
If the iron 1270 be blunt, 6949-14 and he do not whet 7043-43 the edge, 6440 then must he put 1396-17 to more strength: 2428 but wisdom 2451 [is] profitable 3504 to direct. 3787-53 |
| 11 |
Surely the serpent 5175 will bite 5391-4 without enchantment; 3908 and a babbler 3956 1167 is no better. 3504 |
| 12 |
The words 1697 of a wise man's 2450 mouth 6310 [are] gracious; 2580 but the lips 8193 of a fool 3684 will swallow up 1104-17 himself. |
| 13 |
The beginning 8462 of the words 1697 of his mouth 6310 [is] foolishness: 5531 and the end 319 of his talk 6310 [is] mischievous 7451 madness. 1948 |
| 14 |
A fool 5530 also is full 7235-55 of words: 1697 a man 120 cannot tell 3045-4 what shall be; and what shall be after 310 him, who can tell 5046-55 him? |
| 15 |
The labour 5999 of the foolish 3684 wearieth 3021-17 every one of them, because he knoweth 3045-1 not how to go 3212-2 to the city. 5892 |
| 16 |
Woe 337 to thee, O land, 776 when thy king 4428 [is] a child, 5288 and thy princes 8269 eat 398-4 in the morning! 1242 |
| 17 |
Blessed 835 [art] thou, O land, 776 when thy king 4428 [is] the son 1121 of nobles, 2715 and thy princes 8269 eat 398-4 in due season, 6256 for strength, 1369 and not for drunkenness! 8358 |
| 18 |
By much slothfulness 6103 the building 4746 decayeth; 4355-11 and through idleness 8220 of the hands 3027 the house 1004 droppeth through. 1811-4 |
| 19 |
A feast 3899 is made 6213-6 for laughter, 7814 and wine 3196 maketh merry: 8055-17 2416 but money 3701 answereth 6030-4 all [things]. |
| 20 |
Curse 7043-17 not the king, 4428 no not in thy thought; 4093 and curse 7043-17 not the rich 6223 in thy bedchamber: 2315 4904 for a bird 5775 of the air 8064 shall carry 3212-55 the voice, 6963 and that which hath 1167 wings 3671 shall tell 5046-55 the matter. 1697 |
