1- Dead 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.
2- A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
3- Yea 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.
4- If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
5- There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
6- Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
7- I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
8- He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
9- Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.
10- If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
11- Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
12- The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
13- The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
14- A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
15- The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
16- Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
17- Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
18- By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
19- A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
20- Curse 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.
