web Ecclesiastes:9:13-10:20
web@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ I have also seen wisdom under the sun in this way, and it seemed great to me.
web@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @ There was a little city, and few men within it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.
web@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @ Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
web@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.
web@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @ The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.
web@Ecclesiastes:9:18 @ Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to send forth an evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:2 @ A wise man's heart is at his right hand, but a fool's heart at his left.
web@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.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @ If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don't leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, the sort of error which proceeds from the ruler.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @ Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:7 @ I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking like servants on the earth.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @ He who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @ Whoever carves out stones may be injured by them. Whoever splits wood may be endangered thereby.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the axe is blunt, and one doesn't sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @ If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer's tongue.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:12 @ The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @ The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:14 @ A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn't know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?
web@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn't know how to go to the city.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:16 @ Woe to you, land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!
web@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ Happy are you, land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
web@Ecclesiastes:10:18 @ By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @ A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes the life glad; and money is the answer for all things.
web@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Don't curse the king, no, not in your thoughts; and don't curse the rich in your bedroom: for a bird of the sky may carry your voice, and that which has wings may tell the matter.
