Ecclesiastes 10

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 muscae morientes perdunt suavitatem unguenti pretiosior est sapientia et gloria parva ad tempus stultitia

2 cor sapientis in dextera eius et cor stulti in sinistra illius

3 sed et in via stultus ambulans cum ipse insipiens sit omnes stultos aestimat

4 si spiritus potestatem habentis ascenderit super te locum tuum ne dimiseris quia curatio cessare faciet peccata maxima

5 est malum quod vidi sub sole quasi per errorem egrediens a facie principis

6 positum stultum in dignitate sublimi et divites sedere deorsum

7 vidi servos in equis et principes ambulantes quasi servos super terram

8 qui fodit foveam incidet in eam et qui dissipat sepem mordebit eum coluber

9 qui transfert lapides adfligetur in eis et qui scindit ligna vulnerabitur ab eis

10 si retunsum fuerit ferrum et hoc non ut prius sed hebetatum erit multo labore exacuatur et post industriam sequitur sapientia

11 si mordeat serpens in silentio nihil eo minus habet qui occulte detrahit

12 verba oris sapientis gratia et labia insipientis praecipitabunt eum

13 initium verborum eius stultitia et novissimum oris illius error pessimus

14 stultus verba multiplicat ignorat homo quid ante se fuerit et quod post futurum est quis illi poterit indicare

15 labor stultorum adfliget eos qui nesciunt in urbem pergere

16 vae tibi terra cuius rex est puer et cuius principes mane comedunt

17 beata terra cuius rex nobilis est et cuius principes vescuntur in tempore suo ad reficiendum et non ad luxuriam

18 in pigritiis humiliabitur contignatio et in infirmitate manuum perstillabit domus

19 in risu faciunt panem ac vinum ut epulentur viventes et pecuniae oboedient omnia

20 in cogitatione tua regi ne detrahas et in secreto cubiculi tui ne maledixeris diviti quia avis caeli portabit vocem tuam et qui habet pinnas adnuntiabit sententiam

New American Standard Bible NAS

1 Dead flies make a perfumer's oil stink, so a little foolishness is weightier than wisdom and honor.

2 A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man's heart directs him toward the left.

3 Even when the fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking and he demonstrates to everyone that he is a fool.

4 If the ruler's temper rises against you, do not abandon your position, because composure allays great offenses.

5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun, like an error which goes forth from the ruler -

6 folly is set in many exalted places while rich men sit in humble places.

7 I have seen slaves riding on horses and princes walking like slaves on the land.

8 He who digs a pit may fall into it, and a serpent may bite him who breaks through a wall.

9 He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, and he who splits logs may be endangered by them.

10 If the axe is dull and he does not sharpen its edge, then he must exert more strength. Wisdom has the advantage of giving success.

11 If the serpent bites before being charmed, there is no profit for the charmer .

12 Words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious, while the lips of a fool consume him;

13 the beginning of his talking is folly and the end of it is wicked madness.

14 Yet the fool multiplies words. No man knows what will happen, and who can tell him what will come after him?

15 The toil of a fool so wearies him that he does not even know how to go to a city.

16 Woe to you, O land, whose king is a lad and whose princes feast in the morning.

17 Blessed are you, O land, whose king is of nobility and whose princes eat at the appropriate time -for strength and not for drunkenness.

18 Through indolence the rafters sag, and through slackness the house leaks.

19 Men prepare a meal for enjoyment, and wine makes life merry, and money is the answer to everything.

20 Furthermore, in your bedchamber do not curse a king, and in your sleeping rooms do not curse a rich man, for a bird of the heavens will carry the sound and the winged creature will make the matter known.
