Ecclesiastes
Ecclesiastes
Dead flies cause a perfumer`s perfume To send forth a stink; The precious by reason of wisdom -- By reason of honour -- a little folly!
And also, when he that is a fool Is walking in the way, his heart is lacking, And he hath said to every one, `He [is] a fool.`
If the spirit of the ruler go up against thee, Thy place leave not, For yielding quieteth great sinners.
If the iron hath been blunt, And he the face hath not sharpened, Then doth he increase strength, And wisdom [is] advantageous to make right.
If the serpent biteth without enchantment, Then there is no advantage to a master of the tongue.
The beginning of the words of his mouth [is] folly, And the latter end of his mouth [Is] mischievous madness.
And the fool multiplieth words: `Man knoweth not that which is, And that which is after him, who doth declare to him?`
Happy art thou, O land, When thy king [is] a son of freemen, And thy princes do eat in due season, For might, and not for drunkenness.
For mirth they are making a feast, And wine maketh life joyful, And the silver answereth with all.
Even in thy mind a king revile not, And in the inner parts of thy bed-chamber Revile not the rich: For a fowl of the heavens causeth the voice to go, And a possessor of wings declareth the word.
