الفصل 10

ECC 10-1	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.
ECC 10-2	A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
ECC 10-3	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.
ECC 10-4	If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
ECC 10-5	There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
ECC 10-6	Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
ECC 10-7	I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
ECC 10-8	He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
ECC 10-9	Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.
ECC 10-10	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.
ECC 10-11	Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
ECC 10-12	The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
ECC 10-13	The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
ECC 10-14	A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
ECC 10-15	The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
ECC 10-16	Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
ECC 10-17	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!
ECC 10-18	By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
ECC 10-19	A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
ECC 10-20	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.
