KJV
Ecclesiastes 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.

2:   A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

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.

4:   If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
5:   There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:

6:   Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
7:   I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.

8:   He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
9:   Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.
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.

11:   Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
12:   The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious;

but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
13:   The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
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?
15:   The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.

16:   Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
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!

18:   By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.

19:   A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

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.
