Revised Version 1895
Ecclesiastes 10:1-7
1DeadH4194 fliesH2070 cause the ointmentH8081 of the perfumerH7543 to send forthH5042 a stinking savour: soH4592 doth a littleH4592 follyH5531 outweigh wisdomH2451 and honour.
2A wiseH2450 man’sH2450 heartH3820 is at his rightH3225 handH3225; but a fool’sH3684 heartH3820 at his leftH8040.
3Yea also, when the foolH5530 walketh by the wayH1870, his understandingH3820 faileth him, and he saith to everyH3605 one that he is a foolH5530.
4IfH518 the spiritH7307 of the rulerH4910 riseH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 thee, leaveH3240 notH408 thy placeH4725; for yielding allayeth greatH1419 offences.
5There is an evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 underH8478 the sunH8121, as it were an errorH7684 which proceedeth from the rulerH7989:
6follyH5529 is setH5414 in greatH7227 dignity, and the richH6223 sitH3427 in lowH8216 placeH5414.
7I have seenH7200 servantsH5650 uponH5921 horsesH5483, and princesH8269 walkingH1980 as servantsH5650 uponH5921 the earthH776.
