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 King James Version NKJV

1 Dead flies putrefy the perfumer's ointment, And cause it to give off a foul odor; So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor.

2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand, But a fool's heart at his left.

3 Even when a fool walks along the way, He lacks wisdom, And he shows everyone that he is a fool.

4 If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, Do not leave your post; For conciliation pacifies great offenses.

5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun, As an error proceeding from the ruler:

6 Folly is set in great dignity, While the rich sit in a lowly place.

7 I have seen servants on horses, While princes walk on the ground like servants.

8 He who digs a pit will fall into it, And whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a serpent.

9 He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, And he who splits wood may be endangered by it.

10 If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.

11 A serpent may bite when it is not charmed; The babbler is no different.

12 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious, But the lips of a fool shall swallow him up;

13 The words of his mouth begin with foolishness, And the end of his talk is raving madness.

14 A fool also multiplies words. No man knows what is to be; Who can tell him what will be after him?

15 The labor of fools wearies them, For they do not even know how to go to the city!

16 Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, And your princes feast in the morning!

17 Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, And your princes feast at the proper time-- For strength and not for drunkenness!

18 Because of laziness the building decays, And through idleness of hands the house leaks.

19 A feast is made for laughter, And wine makes merry; But money answers everything.

20 Do not curse the king, even in your thought; Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; For a bird of the air may carry your voice, And a bird in flight may tell the matter.
