DeadH4194 fliesH2070 cause the ointmentH8081 of the apothecaryH7543 to send forthH5042 a stinking savourH887: so doth a littleH4592 follyH5531 him that is in reputationH3368 for wisdomH2451 and honourH3519. {Dead…: Heb. Flies of death}
A wise man'sH2450 heartH3820 is at his right handH3225; but a fool'sH3684 heartH3820 at his leftH8040.
Yea also, when he that is a foolH5530 walkethH1980 by the wayH1870, his wisdomH3820 failethH2638 him, and he saithH559 to every one that he is a foolH5530. {his…: Heb. his heart}
If the spiritH7307 of the rulerH4910 rise upH5927 against thee, leaveH3240 not thy placeH4725; for yieldingH4832 pacifiethH3240 greatH1419 offencesH2399.
There isH3426 an evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 under the sunH8121, as an errorH7684 which proceedethH3318 fromH6440 the rulerH7989: {from: Heb. from before}
FollyH5529 is setH5414 in greatH7227 dignityH4791, and the richH6223 sitH3427 in low placeH8216. {in great…: Heb. in great heights}
I have seenH7200 servantsH5650 upon horsesH5483, and princesH8269 walkingH1980 as servantsH5650 upon the earthH776.
He that diggethH2658 a pitH1475 shall fallH5307 into it; and whoso breakethH6555 an hedgeH1447, a serpentH5175 shall biteH5391 him.
Whoso removethH5265 stonesH68 shall be hurtH6087 therewith; and he that cleavethH1234 woodH6086 shall be endangeredH5533 thereby.
If the ironH1270 be bluntH6949, and he do not whetH7043 the edgeH6440, then must he putH1396 to more strengthH2428: but wisdomH2451 is profitableH3504 to directH3787.
Surely the serpentH5175 will biteH5391 without enchantmentH3908; and a babblerH3956+H1167 is no betterH3504. {a babbler: Heb. the master of the tongue}
The wordsH1697 of a wise man'sH2450 mouthH6310 are graciousH2580; but the lipsH8193 of a foolH3684 will swallow upH1104 himself. {gracious: Heb. grace}
The beginningH8462 of the wordsH1697 of his mouthH6310 is foolishnessH5531: and the endH319 of his talkH6310 is mischievousH7451 madnessH1948. {his talk: Heb. his mouth}
A foolH5530 also is fullH7235 of wordsH1697: a manH120 cannot tellH3045 what shall be; and what shall be afterH310 him, who can tellH5046 him? {is full…: Heb. multiplieth words}
The labourH5999 of the foolishH3684 weariethH3021 every one of them, because he knowethH3045 not how to goH3212 to the cityH5892.
WoeH337 to thee, O landH776, when thy kingH4428 is a childH5288, and thy princesH8269 eatH398 in the morningH1242!
BlessedH835 art thou, O landH776, when thy kingH4428 is the sonH1121 of noblesH2715, and thy princesH8269 eatH398 in due seasonH6256, for strengthH1369, and not for drunkennessH8358!
By much slothfulnessH6103 the buildingH4746 decayethH4355; and through idlenessH8220 of the handsH3027 the houseH1004 droppeth throughH1811.
A feastH3899 is madeH6213 for laughterH7814, and wineH3196 maketh merryH8055+H2416: but moneyH3701 answerethH6030 all things. {maketh…: Heb. maketh glad the life}
CurseH7043 not the kingH4428, no not in thy thoughtH4093; and curseH7043 not the richH6223 in thy bedchamberH2315+H4904: for a birdH5775 of the airH8064 shall carryH3212 the voiceH6963, and that which hathH1167 wingsH3671 shall tellH5046 the matterH1697. {thought: or, conscience}
