Ecclesiastes Capítulo 10

10 : 1 Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to send forth an evil odor, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

10 : 2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand, but a fool's heart at his left.

10 : 3 Yea also, when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.

10 : 4 If the spirit of the ruler rises up against thee, leave not thy place, for deference allays great offenses.

10 : 5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an error which proceeds from the ruler:

10 : 6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.

10 : 7 I have seen servants upon horses, and rulers walking like servants upon the earth.

10 : 8 He who digs a pit shall fall into it, and he who breaks through a wall, a serpent shall bite him.

10 : 9 He who hews out stones shall be hurt therewith, and he who splits wood is endangered thereby.

10 : 10 If the iron be blunt, and he does not whet the edge, then he must increase strength. But wisdom is advantageous to make right.

10 : 11 If the serpent bites before it is charmed, then is there no advantage in the charmer.

10 : 12 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool will swallow himself up.

10 : 13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

10 : 14 A fool also multiplies words; yet man knows not what shall be, and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?

10 : 15 The labor of fools wearies every one of them, for he knows not how to go to the city.

10 : 16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy rulers feast in the morning!

10 : 17 Happy are thou, O land, when thy king is the son of noble men, and thy rulers feast in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

10 : 18 By slothfulness the roof sinks in, and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.

10 : 19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes glad the life, and money answers all things.

10 : 20 Revile not the king, no, not in thy thought, and revile not the rich in thy bedchamber. For a bird of the heavens shall carry the voice, and that which has wings shall tell the matter.
