updv - Ecclesiastes:9:13-10:20

updv@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ I have also seen wisdom under the sun on this wise, and it seemed great to me:

updv@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @ There was a little city, and few men inside it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.

updv@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @ Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet man did not remember that same poor man.

updv@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @ Then I said, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

updv@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @ The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.

updv@Ecclesiastes:9:18 @ Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to gush forth an evil odor; [so] does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:2 @ A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart is at his left.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @ Yes also, when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone [that] he is a fool.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @ If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don't leave your place; for gentleness allays great offenses.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an unintentional [error] which proceeds from the ruler:

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @ folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:7 @ I have seen slaves on horses, and princes walking like slaves on the earth.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @ He who digs a pit will fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall, a serpent will bite him.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @ Whoever cuts out stones will be hurt with them; [and] he who splits wood is endangered by it.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the iron is blunt, and one does not whet the edge, then he must use more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @ If the serpent bites before it is charmed, then is there no advantage to the master of the tongue.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:12 @ The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @ The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:14 @ A fool also multiplies words: [yet] man doesn't know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn't know how to go to the city.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:16 @ Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ You are happy, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:18 @ By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @ A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes glad the life; and money answers all things.

updv@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Don't revile the king, no, not in your thought; and don't revile the rich in your bedchamber: for a bird of the heavens will carry the voice, and that which has wings will tell the matter.
