CHAPTER 10 The Ways of the Wise and Foolish

1 A fly put to death will rot a concoction [²oil ¹of lucious]; [³is valuable ¹A little ²wisdom] over [²glory ³of folly ¹great]. 2 A heart of a wise man is at his right hand; and the heart of a fool is at his left. 3 And indeed [⁴in the way ¹whenever ²a fool ³goes] of his heart, he will fail, and [²which he considers ¹all] is folly. 4 If spirit of the one exercising authority should ascend against you, [³your place ¹you should not ²leave]; for a cure will put to rest [²sins ¹great]. 5 There is a wickedness which I beheld under the sun, as an unintentional act came forth from the person of one exercising authority. 6 [³was put ¹The ²fool] in [²heights ¹great], and the rich [²in ³low ¹shall settle]. 7 I beheld servants upon horses, and rulers going as servants upon the ground. 8 The one digging a cesspool [²into ³it ¹shall fall]; and the one demolishing a fence boundary, [²shall bite ³him ¹a serpent]. 9 One lifting away stones shall work hard among them; one splitting wood shall be exposed to danger in them. 10 If [²should fall off ¹an iron implement], and he [²in countenance ¹is disturbed], then [²his power ¹he shall strengthen], and abundance is to the man of which is wisdom. 11 If [³should bite ¹the ²serpent] with no enchanter whispering, then there is no advantage to the one charming. 12 The words [²mouth ¹of a wise] carry favor; but the lips of a fool shall sink him; 13 the beginning of the words of his mouth are folly, and the end of his mouth [²madness ¹is wicked]. 14 And the fool multiplies words. [²does not ³know ¹Man] what the thing becoming is, and what the thing will be; for after him who shall announce to him? 15 The effort of the fools shall trouble them as one who does not know how to go into the city. 16 Woe to you, O city, of which your king is younger, and your rulers [²in ³the morning ¹eat]. 17 Blessed is your land of which your king is a son of free nobles, and your rulers at a proper time shall eat in force, and shall not be ashamed. 18 By slothful neglect [²will be lowered ¹a building]; and in idleness of hands [³will drip ¹the ²house]. 19 For laughter they make bread, and wine and olive oil [²to be glad ¹for the living]; and of the money all will heed. 20 And indeed in your conscience [²a king ¹you should not curse]; and in the closets of your bedrooms you should not curse a rich man. For a winged creature of heaven shall carry your voice, and the one having the wings shall report your word.
