Ecclesiastes:10-11

* 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 . * A wise man 's heart is at his right hand ; but a fool 's heart at his left . * 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 . * If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee , leave not thy place ; for yielding pacifieth great offences . * There is an evil which I have seen under the sun , as an error which proceedeth from the ruler : * Folly is set in great dignity , and the rich sit in low place . * I have seen servants upon horses , and princes walking as servants upon the earth . * He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it ; and whoso breaketh an hedge , a serpent shall bite him . * Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith ; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby . * 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 . * Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment ; and a babbler is no better . * The words of a wise man 's mouth are gracious ; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself . * The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness : and the end of his talk is mischievous madness . * A fool also is full of words : a man cannot tell what shall be ; and what shall be after him , who can tell him ? * The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them , because he knoweth not how to go to the city . * Woe to thee , O land , when thy king is a child , and thy princes eat in the morning ! * 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 ! * By much slothfulness the building decayeth ; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through . * A feast is made for laughter , and wine maketh merry : but money answereth all things . * 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 . * Cast thy bread upon the waters : for thou shalt find it after many days . * Give a portion to seven , and also to eight ; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth . * If the clouds be full of rain , they empty themselves upon the earth : and if the tree fall toward the south , or toward the north , in the place where the tree falleth , there it shall be . * He that observeth the wind shall not sow ; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap . * As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit , nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child : even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all . * In the morning sow thy seed , and in the evening withhold not thine hand : for thou knowest not whether shall prosper , either this or that , or whether they both shall be alike good . * Truly the light is sweet , and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun : * But if a man live many years , and rejoice in them all ; yet let him remember the days of darkness ; for they shall be many . All that cometh is vanity . * Rejoice , O young man , in thy youth ; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth , and walk in the ways of thine heart , and in the sight of thine eyes : but know thou , that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment . * Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart , and put away evil from thy flesh : for childhood and youth are vanity . * Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth , while the evil days come not , nor the years draw nigh , when thou shalt say , I have no pleasure in them ;
