Ecclesiastes 10:1-7
1DeadH4194 fliesH2070 make a 1perfumer’sH7543 oilH8081 stinkH887, so a littleH4592 foolishnessH5531 is weightierH3368 thanH4480 wisdomH2451 and honorH3519. 2A wiseH2450 man’sH2450 heartH3820 directs him toward the rightH3225, but the foolishH3684 2man’sH3684 heartH3820 directs him toward the leftH8040. 3EvenH1571 whenH7945 the foolH5530 walksH1980 along the roadH1870, his 3senseH3820 is lackingH2637 and he 45demonstratesH559 to everyoneH3605 that he is a foolH5530. 4IfH518 the ruler’sH4910 6temperH7307 risesH5927 againstH5921 you, 7do not abandonH5117 your positionH4725, becauseH3588 8composureH4832 allaysH5117 greatH1419 offensesH2399.
5ThereH3426 is an evilH7463 I have seenH7200 underH8478 the sunH8121, like an errorH7684 whichH7945 goesH3318 forthH3318 from the rulerH7989-- 69follyH5529 is setH5414 in manyH7227 exaltedH4791 placesH4791 while richH6223 menH6223 sitH3427 in humbleH8216 placesH8216. 7I have seenH7200 10slavesH5650 riding 11on horsesH5483 and princesH8269 walkingH1980 like slavesH5650 on the landH776.
