10 Dead flies make a perfumer’s oil stink;
heavier than wisdom or honor is a little foolishness.
2 The heart of a wise person is to his right
and a heart of a fool is to his left.
3 And even when the fool is going on the road,
his heart is lacking,
and he says to everyone
that he is a fool.
4 If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place,
for calmness will lay great sins to rest.
5 There is a misfortune I saw under the sun,
like an unintentional sin that goes out from before the face of the authority.
6 Folly is given into many high places
and rich people sit in the lowly place.
7 I saw slaves on horses
and princes walking like slaves on the ground.
8 A person who digs a pit will fall into it,
and a person who breaks through a wall,
a snake will bite him.
9 A person who pulls up stones will be hurt by them;
a person who splits wood will be endangered by them.
10 If a person has blunted the iron
and he does not make the faces light,
he must exert strength,
but a profit to being successful is wisdom.
11 If the snake bites without a charm,
there is no profit for the master of the tongue.
12 The words of the mouth of a wise person are favor,
but the lips of a fool will swallow him.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness
and the end of his mouth is evil insanity.
14 But the fool will multiply words.
Humanity does not know what will happen or what will be after him—
who will declare it to him?
15 The toil of foolish people will weary him
so that he does not know how to go to a city.
16 Woe to you, land, that your king is a youth
and your princes will eat in the morning.
17 Blessed are you, land, that your king is a son of nobles
and that your princes will eat at the time with might and not with drunkenness.
18 With laziness, the beams of the roof sink
and in idleness of hands, the house will leak.
19 They are making bread for laughter
and wine gladdens life,
but silver will answer everything.
20 Even in your thought, do not belittle a king,
and in the room of your bed, do not belittle a rich person,
for a bird of the heavens will carry the voice,
and a master of wings will declare the word.
