Ecclesiastes 10:1-4

¹Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to produce an evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.

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

³Yes also when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.

⁴If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don’t leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest.
