Ecclesiastes 10:1-7

1Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to stinkH887 [and] ferment; [so] a littleH4592 follyH5531 is weightier than wisdomH2451 [and] honour.

2The heartH3820 of a wiseH2450 [man] is at his rightH3225 handH3225; but a fool's heartH3820 at his left.

3Yea alsoH1571, when he that is a foolH5530 walketh by the wayH1870, his sense 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 quietness pacifieth greatH1419 offences.

5There is an evilH7451 that I have seenH7200 under the sunH8121, as an error [that] proceedeth from the rulerH7989:

6folly is setH5414 in greatH7227 dignities, but the richH6223 sitH3427 in a lowH8216 place.

7I have seenH7200 servantsH5650 upon horsesH5483, and princesH8269 walkingH1980 as servantsH5650 upon the earthH776.
