DEAD flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018186">2</a>. A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018187">3</a>. Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018188">4</a>. If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018189">5</a>. There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018190">6</a>. Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018191">7</a>. I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018192">8</a>. He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018193">9</a>. Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018194">10</a>. If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018195">11</a>. Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018196">12</a>. The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018197">13</a>. The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018198">14</a>. A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018199">15</a>. The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018200">16</a>. Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018201">17</a>. Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018202">18</a>. By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018203">19</a>. A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018204">20</a>. Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.</li>
