ylt - Ecclesiastes:9:13-10:20

ylt@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @This also I have seen: wisdom under the sun, and it is great to me.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @A little city, and few men in it, and a great king hath come unto it, and hath surrounded it, and hath built against it great bulwarks;

ylt@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @and there hath been found in it a poor wise man, and he hath delivered the city by his wisdom, and men have not remembered that poor man!

ylt@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @And I said, 'Better [is] wisdom than might, and the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.' --

ylt@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @The words of the wise in quiet are heard, More than the cry of a ruler over fools.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:9:18 @Better [is] wisdom than weapons of conflict, And one sinner destroyeth much good!

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @Dead flies cause a perfumer's perfume To send forth a stink; The precious by reason of wisdom -- By reason of honour -- a little folly!

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:2 @The heart of the wise [is] at his right hand, And the heart of a fool at his left.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @And also, when he that is a fool Is walking in the way, his heart is lacking, And he hath said to every one, 'He [is] a fool.'

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @If the spirit of the ruler go up against thee, Thy place leave not, For yielding quieteth great sinners.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @There is an evil I have seen under the sun, As an error that goeth out from the ruler,

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @He hath set the fool in many high places, And the rich in a low place do sit.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:7 @I have seen servants on horses, And princes walking as servants on the earth.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And whoso is breaking a hedge, a serpent biteth him.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @Whoso is removing stones is grieved by them, Whoso is cleaving trees endangered by them.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @If the iron hath been blunt, And he the face hath not sharpened, Then doth he increase strength, And wisdom [is] advantageous to make right.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @If the serpent biteth without enchantment, Then there is no advantage to a master of the tongue.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:12 @Words of the mouth of the wise [are] gracious, And the lips of a fool swallow him up.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @The beginning of the words of his mouth [is] folly, And the latter end of his mouth [Is] mischievous madness.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:14 @And the fool multiplieth words: 'Man knoweth not that which is, And that which is after him, who doth declare to him?'

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @The labour of the foolish wearieth him, In that he hath not known to go unto the city.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:16 @Wo to thee, O land, when thy king [is] a youth, And thy princes do eat in the morning.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @Happy art thou, O land, When thy king [is] a son of freemen, And thy princes do eat in due season, For might, and not for drunkenness.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:18 @By slothfulness is the wall brought low, And by idleness of the hands doth the house drop.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @For mirth they are making a feast, And wine maketh life joyful, And the silver answereth with all.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @Even in thy mind a king revile not, And in the inner parts of thy bed-chamber Revile not the rich: For a fowl of the heavens causeth the voice to go, And a possessor of wings declareth the word.
