Ecclesiastes 10:1-7
1Dead flies cause the oilH8081 of the perfumerH7543 to send forthH5042 an evil odor; so doth a littleH4592 follyH5531 outweigh wisdomH2451 and honorH3519. 2A wiseH2450 man’s heartH3820 is at his rightH3225 handH3225; but a fool’sH3684 heartH3820 at his left. 3Yea alsoH1571, when the foolH5530 walketh by the wayH1870, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a foolH5530. 4If the spiritH7307 of the rulerH4910 rise up against thee, leave not thy placeH4725; for gentleness allayeth greatH1419 offences.
5There is an evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 under the sunH8121, as it were an error which proceedeth from the rulerH7989: 6folly is setH5414 in greatH7227 dignity, and the richH6223 sitH3427 in a lowH8216 place. 7I have seenH7200 servantsH5650 upon horsesH5483, and princesH8269 walkingH1980 like servantsH5650 upon the earthH776.
