Dead
flies
make a perfumer's
oil
stink,
so a little
foolishness
is weightier
than
wisdom
and honor.
2
A wise man's
heart
directs him toward the right,
but the foolish man's
heart
directs him toward the left.
3
Even
when
the fool
walks
along the road,
his sense
is lacking
and he demonstrates
to everyone
that he is a fool.
4
If
the ruler's
temper
rises
against
you, do not abandon
your position,
because
composure
allays
great
offenses.
5
There
is an evil
I have seen
under
the sun,
like an error
which
goes forth
from the ruler--
6
folly
is set
in many
exalted places
while rich men
sit
in humble places.
7
I have seen
slaves
riding on horses
and princes
walking
like
slaves
on the land.
8
He who digs
a pit
may fall
into it, and a serpent
may bite
him who breaks through
a wall.
9
He who quarries
stones
may be hurt
by them, and he who splits
logs
may be endangered
by them.
10
If
the axe
is dull
and he does not sharpen
its edge,
then he must exert
more strength.
Wisdom
has the advantage
of giving success.
11
If
the serpent
bites
before being charmed,
there is no
profit
for the charmer.
12
Words
from the mouth
of a wise man
are gracious,
while the lips
of a fool
consume
him;
13
the beginning
of his talking
is folly
and the end
of it is wicked
madness.
14
Yet the fool
multiplies
words.
No
man
knows
what
will happen,
and who
can tell
him
what
will come
after
him?
15
The toil
of a fool
so wearies
him that he does not even know
how to go
to a city.
16
Woe
to you, O land,
whose
king
is a lad
and
whose
princes
feast
in the morning.
17
Blessed
are you, O land,
whose
king
is of nobility
and
whose
princes
eat
at the appropriate time--
for strength
and not for drunkenness.
18
Through indolence
the rafters
sag,
and through slackness
the house
leaks.
19
Men prepare
a meal
for enjoyment,
and wine
makes
life
merry,
and money
is the answer
to everything.
20
Furthermore,
in your bedchamber
do not curse
a king,
and in your sleeping
rooms
do not curse
a rich man,
for a bird
of the heavens
will carry
the sound
and the winged
creature will make
the matter
known.
