Ecclesiastes 10:1-4 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

1. Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth an offensive odor: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor.

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

3. 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 riseth against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offenses.
