┼├├ 10:1 ─EAD 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.
┼├├ 10:2 ┴ WISE MAN'S HEART IS AT HIS RIGHT HAND; BUT A FOOL'S HEART AT HIS LEFT.
┼├├ 10:3 ┘EA 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.
┼├├ 10:4 ╔F THE SPIRIT OF THE RULER RISE UP AGAINST THEE, LEAVE NOT THY PLACE; FOR YIELDING PACIFIETH GREAT OFFENCES.
┼├├ 10:5 ╘HERE IS AN EVIL WHICH ╔ HAVE SEEN UNDER THE SUN, AS AN ERROR WHICH PROCEEDETH FROM THE RULER:
┼├├ 10:6 ╞OLLY IS SET IN GREAT DIGNITY, AND THE RICH SIT IN LOW PLACE.
┼├├ 10:7 ╔ HAVE SEEN SERVANTS UPON HORSES, AND PRINCES WALKING AS SERVANTS UPON THE EARTH.
┼├├ 10:8 ╚E THAT DIGGETH A PIT SHALL FALL INTO IT; AND WHOSO BREAKETH AN HEDGE, A SERPENT SHALL BITE HIM.
┼├├ 10:9 ╫HOSO REMOVETH STONES SHALL BE HURT THEREWITH; AND HE THAT CLEAVETH WOOD SHALL BE ENDANGERED THEREBY.
┼├├ 10:10 ╔F THE IRON BE BLUNT, AND HE DO NOT WHET THE EDGE, THEN MUST HE PUT TO MORE STRENGTH: BUT WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT.
┼├├ 10:11 ╙URELY THE SERPENT WILL BITE WITHOUT ENCHANTMENT; AND A BABBLER IS NO BETTER.
┼├├ 10:12 ╘HE WORDS OF A WISE MAN'S MOUTH ARE GRACIOUS; BUT THE LIPS OF A FOOL WILL SWALLOW UP HIMSELF.
┼├├ 10:13 ╘HE BEGINNING OF THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH IS FOOLISHNESS: AND THE END OF HIS TALK IS MISCHIEVOUS MADNESS.
┼├├ 10:14 ┴ FOOL ALSO IS FULL OF WORDS: A MAN CANNOT TELL WHAT SHALL BE; AND WHAT SHALL BE AFTER HIM, WHO CAN TELL HIM?
┼├├ 10:15 ╘HE LABOUR OF THE FOOLISH WEARIETH EVERY ONE OF THEM, BECAUSE HE KNOWETH NOT HOW TO GO TO THE CITY.
┼├├ 10:16 ╫OE TO THEE, ╧ LAND, WHEN THY KING IS A CHILD, AND THY PRINCES EAT IN THE MORNING!
┼├├ 10:17 ┬LESSED ART THOU, ╧ LAND, WHEN THY KING IS THE SON OF NOBLES, AND THY PRINCES EAT IN DUE SEASON, FOR STRENGTH, AND NOT FOR DRUNKENNESS!
┼├├ 10:18 ┬Y MUCH SLOTHFULNESS THE BUILDING DECAYETH; AND THROUGH IDLENESS OF THE HANDS THE HOUSE DROPPETH THROUGH.
┼├├ 10:19 ┴ FEAST IS MADE FOR LAUGHTER, AND WINE MAKETH MERRY: BUT MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THINGS.
┼├├ 10:20 ├URSE 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.
