Ecclesiastes 10:1-4 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Dead flies corrupt and spoil the perfumer’s oil;more weighty than wisdom or wealth is a little folly!

2. The wise heart turns to the right;the foolish heart to the left.

3. Even when walking in the street the fool, lacking understanding, calls everyone a fool.

4. Should the anger of a ruler burst upon you, do not yield your place; for calmness abates great offenses.
