@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ Also in this manner have I seen wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @ There was a little city, and the men therein were few; and there came against it a great king, who enclosed it, and built around it great works of siege;
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @ But there was found in it a poor wise man, and he delivered the city by his wisdom; yet no man had thought of that same poor man.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @ Then said I, Wisdom is better than might: although the poor mans wisdom is held in contempt, and his words are not heard.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @ The words of wise men heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:9:18 @ Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner causes much good to be lost.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies cause the precious oil of the apothecary to become stinking and foaming; so doth a little folly him that is valued for wisdom and honor.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:2 @ The heart of a wise man is at his right hand; but the heart of a fool is at his left.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @ Yea also, on whatever way the fool walketh, doth he lack proper sense, and he saith to all that he is a fool.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @ If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for submissiveness causeth great offences to be avoided.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, like an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @ Folly is set in great high places, and the rich sit in lowness.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:7 @ I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking like servants upon the ground.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @ He that diggeth a pit will fall into it; and him who breaketh down a fencea serpent will bite him.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @ Whoso removeth stones will be hurt through them; and he that cleaveth wood will be endangered thereby.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the iron be blunt, and man do not whet the edge, then must he exert more strength; but the advantage of making it properly sharp is wisdom.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @ If the serpent do bite because no one uttered a charm, then hath the man that can use his tongue no preference.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:12 @ The words of a wise mans mouth grace; but the lips of a fool will destroy himself.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @ The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the last that cometh out of his mouth is evilbringing madness.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:14 @ The fool also multiplieth words; a man cannot know what is to be; and what is to be after him, who can tell him?
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The toil of the foolish will weary every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:16 @ Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is lowminded, and when thy princes eat in the morning!
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is noblespirited, and thy princes eat in proper time, for strengthening, and not for gluttony!
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:18 @ Through slothful hands the rafters will sink; and through idleness of the hands the house will become leaky.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @ For gay pleasure they prepare a feast, and wine is to make the living joyful; but money procureth all things.
sf_leeser_rev1@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Even in thy thought thou must not curse a king; and in thy bedchambers do not curse the rich; for a bird of the air can carry the sound, and that which hath wings can tell the word.
