# Chapter 10
|
|
1. Dead flies putrefy the perfumer's ointment,
|
|
And cause it to give off a foul odor;
|
|
So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor.
|
|
|
|
2. A wise man's heart is at his right hand,
|
|
But a fool's heart at his left.
|
|
|
|
3. Even when a fool walks along the way,
|
|
He lacks wisdom,
|
|
And he shows everyone that he is a fool.
|
|
|
|
4. If the spirit of the ruler rises against you,
|
|
Do not leave your post;
|
|
For conciliation pacifies great offenses.
|
|
|
|
5. There is an evil I have seen under the sun,
|
|
As an error proceeding from the ruler:
|
|
|
|
6. Folly is set in great dignity,
|
|
While the rich sit in a lowly place.
|
|
|
|
7. I have seen servants on horses,
|
|
While princes walk on the ground like servants.
|
|
|
|
8. He who digs a pit will fall into it,
|
|
And whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a serpent.
|
|
|
|
9. He who quarries stones may be hurt by them,
|
|
And he who splits wood may be endangered by it.
|
|
|
|
10. If the ax is dull,
|
|
And one does not sharpen the edge,
|
|
Then he must use more strength;
|
|
But wisdom brings success.
|
|
|
|
11. A serpent may bite when it is not charmed;
|
|
The babbler is no different.
|
|
|
|
12. The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious,
|
|
But the lips of a fool shall swallow him up;
|
|
|
|
13. The words of his mouth begin with foolishness,
|
|
And the end of his talk is raving madness.
|
|
|
|
14. A fool also multiplies words.
|
|
No man knows what is to be;
|
|
Who can tell him what will be after him?
|
|
|
|
15. The labor of fools wearies them,
|
|
For they do not even know how to go to the city!
|
|
|
|
16. Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child,
|
|
And your princes feast in the morning!
|
|
|
|
17. Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles,
|
|
And your princes feast at the proper time--
|
|
For strength and not for drunkenness!
|
|
|
|
18. Because of laziness the building decays,
|
|
And through idleness of hands the house leaks.
|
|
|
|
19. A feast is made for laughter,
|
|
And wine makes merry;
|
|
But money answers everything.
|
|
|
|
20. Do not curse the king, even in your thought;
|
|
Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom;
|
|
For a bird of the air may carry your voice,
|
|
And a bird in flight may tell the matter.
