New Testament

Ecclesiastes 10:1-4 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Dying flies ruin the sweetness of the ointment. Wisdom and glory is more precious than a brief and limited foolishness.

2. The heart of a wise man is in his right hand, and the heart of a foolish man is in his left hand.

3. Moreover, as a foolish man is walking along the way, even though he himself is unwise, he considers everyone to be foolish.

4. If the spirit of one who holds authority rises over you, do not leave your place, because attentiveness will cause the greatest sins to cease.
