Ecclesiastes 10 Dead flies cause the ointment of the perfumer to send forth a stinking odour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and glory.

1 H4194 Dead H2070 flies H8081 cause the ointment H7543 [H8802] of the perfumer H5042 [H8686] to send forth H887 [H8686] a stinking odour: H4592 so doth a little H5531 folly H3368 him that is in reputation H2451 for wisdom H3519 and glory.

2 H2450 A wise man's H3820 heart H3225 is at his right hand; H3684 but a fool's H3820 heart H8040 is at his left.

3 H5530 Also, when he that is a fool H1980 [H8802] walketh H1870 by the way, H3820 his heart H2638 faileth H559 [H8804] him, and he saith H5530 to every one that he is a fool.

4 H7307 If the spirit H4910 [H8802] of the ruler H5927 [H8799] riseth H3240 [H8686] against thee, leave H4725 not thy place; H4832 for yielding H3240 [H8686] pacifieth H1419 great H2399 offences.

5 H3426 There is H7451 an evil H7200 [H8804] which I have seen H8121 under the sun, H7684 as an error H3318 [H8802] which proceedeth H6440 from H7989 the ruler:

6 H5529 Folly H5414 [H8738] is given H7227 in great H4791 dignity, H6223 and the rich H3427 [H8799] sit H8216 in low place.

7 H7200 [H8804] I have seen H5650 servants H5483 upon horses, H8269 and princes H1980 [H8802] walking H5650 as servants H776 upon the earth.

8 H2658 [H8802] He that diggeth H1475 a pit H5307 [H8799] shall fall H6555 [H8802] into it; and whoever breaketh H1447 an hedge, H5175 a serpent H5391 [H8799] shall bite him.

9 H5265 [H8688] Whoever removeth H68 stones H6087 [H8735] shall be hurt H1234 [H8802] by them; and he that cutteth H6086 wood H5533 [H8735] shall be endangered by it.

10 H1270 If the iron H6949 [H8765] is blunt, H7043 [H8773] and he doth not whet H6440 the edge, H1396 [H8762] then must he use H2428 more strength: H2451 but wisdom H3504 is profitable H3787 [H8687] to direct.

11 H5175 Surely the serpent H5391 [H8799] will bite H3908 without enchantment; H3956 H1167 and a babbler H3504 is no better.

12 H1697 The words H2450 of a wise man's H6310 mouth H2580 are gracious; H8193 but the lips H3684 of a fool H1104 [H8762] will swallow up himself.

13 H8462 The beginning H1697 of the words H6310 of his mouth H5531 is foolishness: H319 and the end H6310 of his talk H7451 is evil H1948 madness.

14 H5530 A fool H7235 [H8686] also is full H1697 of words: H120 a man H3045 [H8799] cannot tell H310 what shall be; and what shall be after H5046 [H8686] him, who can tell him?

15 H5999 The labour H3684 of the foolish H3021 [H8762] wearieth H3045 [H8804] every one of them, because he knoweth H3212 [H8800] not how to go H5892 to the city.

16 H337 Woe H776 to thee, O land, H4428 when thy king H5288 is a child, H8269 and thy princes H398 [H8799] eat H1242 in the morning!

17 H835 Happy H776 art thou, O land, H4428 when thy king H1121 is the son H2715 of nobles, H8269 and thy princes H398 [H8799] eat H6256 in due time, H1369 for strength, H8358 and not for drunkenness!

18 H6103 By much slothfulness H4746 the building H4355 [H8735] decayeth; H8220 and through idleness H3027 of the hands H1004 the house H1811 [H8799] droppeth through.

19 H3899 A feast H6213 [H8802] is made H7814 for laughter, H3196 and wine H8055 H2416 [H8762] maketh merry: H3701 but money H6030 [H8799] answereth all things.

20 H7043 [H8762] Curse H4428 not the king, H4093 no not in thy thought; H7043 [H8762] and curse H6223 not the rich H2315 H4904 in thy bedchamber: H5775 for a bird H8064 of the heaven H3212 [H8686] shall carry H6963 the voice, H1167 and that which hath H3671 wings H5046 [H8686] shall tell H1697 the matter.
