Ecclesiastes 10:1-3
Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible
RHE
New International Version
NIV
1
Dying flies spoil the sweetness of the ointment. Wisdom and glory is more precious than a small and shortlived folly.
1
As dead flies give perfume a bad smell, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
2
The heart of a wise man is in his right hand, and the heart of a fool is in his left hand.
2
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.
3
Yea, and the fool when he walketh in the way, whereas he himself is a fool, esteemeth all men fools.
3
Even as fools walk along the road, they lack sense and show everyone how stupid they are.
