Ecclesiastes 10:1-7

1Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to stink [and] ferment; [so] a little folly is weightier than wisdom [and] honour.

2The heart of a wise [man] is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

3Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his sense faileth [him], and he saith to every one [that] he is a fool.

4If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for quietness pacifieth great offences.

5There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as an error [that] proceedeth from the ruler:

6folly is set in great dignities, but the rich sit in a low place.

7I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
