| Ecclesiastes 10 Text (WEB)
|
- Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to send forth an evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.
- A wise man's heart is at his right hand, but a fool's heart at his left.
- Yes also, when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.
- If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don't leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest.
- There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, the sort of error which proceeds from the ruler.
- Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.
- I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking like servants on the earth.
- He who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.
- Whoever carves out stones may be injured by them. Whoever splits wood may be endangered thereby.
- If the axe is blunt, and one doesn't sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.
- If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer's tongue.
- The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.
- The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
- A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn't know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?
- The labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn't know how to go to the city.
- Woe to you, land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!
- Happy are you, land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
- By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.
- A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes the life glad; and money is the answer for all things.
- Don't curse the king, no, not in your thoughts; and don't curse the rich in your bedroom: for a bird of the sky may carry your voice, and that which has wings may tell the matter.

- זבובי מות יבאיש יביע שמן רוקח יקר מחכמה מכבוד סכלות מעט׃
- לב חכם לימינו ולב כסיל לשמאלו׃
- וגם־בדרך הלך לבו חסר ואמר לכל סכל הוא׃
- אם־רוח המושל תעלה עליך מקומך אל־תנח כי מרפא יניח חטאים גדולים׃
- יש רעה ראיתי תחת השמש כשגגה שיצא מלפני השליט׃
- נתן הסכל במרומים רבים ועשירים בשפל ישבו׃
- ראיתי עבדים על־סוסים ושרים הלכים כעבדים על־הארץ׃
- חפר גומץ בו יפול ופרץ גדר ישכנו נחש׃
- מסיע אבנים יעצב בהם בוקע עצים יסכן בם׃
- אם־קהה הברזל והוא לא־פנים קלקל וחילים יגבר ויתרון הכשיר חכמה׃
- אם־ישך הנחש בלוא־לחש ואין יתרון לבעל הלשון׃
- דברי פי־חכם חן ושפתות כסיל תבלענו׃
- תחלת דברי־פיהו סכלות ואחרית פיהו הוללות רעה׃
- והסכל ירבה דברים לא־ידע האדם מה־שיהיה ואשר יהיה מאחריו מי יגיד לו׃
- עמל הכסילים תיגענו אשר לא־ידע ללכת אל־עיר׃
- אי־לך ארץ שמלךך נער ושריך בבקר יאכלו׃
- אשריך ארץ שמלךך בן־חורים ושריך בעת יאכלו בגבורה ולא בשתי׃
- בעצלתים ימך המקרה ובשפלות ידים ידלף הבית׃
- לשחוק עשים לחם ויין ישמח חיים והכסף יענה את־הכל׃
- גם במדעך מלך אל־תקלל ובחדרי משכבך אל־תקלל עשיר כי עוף השמים יוליך את־הקול ובעל יגיד דבר׃

| Ecclesiastes 10 Text (Latin)
|
- Muscæ morientes perdunt suavitatem unguenti. Pretiosior est sapientia et gloria, parva et ad tempus stultitia.
- Cor sapientis in dextera ejus, et cor stulti in sinistra illius.
- Sed et in via stultus ambulans, cum ipse insipiens sit, omnes stultos æstimat.
- Si spiritus potestatem habentis ascenderit super te, locum tuum ne demiseris, quia curatio faciet cessare peccata maxima.
- Est malum quod vidi sub sole, quasi per errorem egrediens a facie principis :
- positum stultum in dignitate sublimi, et divites sedere deorsum.
- Vidi servos in equis, et principes ambulantes super terram quasi servos.
- Qui fodit foveam incidet in eam, et qui dissipat sepem mordebit eum coluber.
- Qui transfert lapides affligetur in eis, et qui scindit ligna vulnerabitur ab eis.
- Si retusum fuerit ferrum, et hoc non ut prius, sed hebetatum fuerit, multo labore exacuetur, et post industriam sequetur sapientia.
- Si mordeat serpens in silentio, nihil eo minus habet qui occulte detrahit.
- Verba oris sapientis gratia, et labia insipientis præcipitabunt eum ;
- initium verborum ejus stultitia, et novissimum oris illius error pessimus.
- Stultus verba multiplicat. Ignorat homo quid ante se fuerit ; et quid post se futurum sit, quis ei poterit indicare ?
- Labor stultorum affliget eos, qui nesciunt in urbem pergere.
- Væ tibi, terra, cujus rex puer est, et cujus principes mane comedunt.
- Beata terra cujus rex nobilis est, et cujus principes vescuntur in tempore suo, ad reficiendum, et non ad luxuriam.
- In pigritiis humiliabitur contignatio, et in infirmitate manuum perstillabit domus.
- In risum faciunt panem et vinum ut epulentur viventes ; et pecuniæ obediunt omnia.
- In cogitatione tua regi ne detrahas, et in secreto cubiculi tui ne maledixeris diviti : quia et aves cæli portabunt vocem tuam, et qui habet pennas annuntiabit sententiam.

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