Ecclesiastes 10:1-3

Jubilee Bible 2000

10 ¶ Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: likewise a small act of folly unto him that is esteemed for wisdom and honour.

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

³ Even when the fool walks by the way, he lacks prudence, and he says unto every one that he is a fool.
