As dead flies cause even a bottle of perfume to stink, so a little foolishness spoils great wisdom and honor. |
2
|
A wise person chooses the right road; a fool takes the wrong one. |
3
|
You can identify fools just by the way they walk down the street! |
4
|
If your boss is angry at you, don't quit! A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes. |
5
|
There is another evil I have seen under the sun. Kings and rulers make a grave mistake |
6
|
when they give great authority to foolish people and low positions to people of proven worth. |
7
|
I have even seen servants riding horseback like princes-- and princes walking like servants! |
8
|
When you dig a well, you might fall in. When you demolish an old wall, you could be bitten by a snake. |
9
|
When you work in a quarry, stones might fall and crush you. When you chop wood, there is danger with each stroke of your ax. |
10
|
Using a dull ax requires great strength, so sharpen the blade. That's the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed. |
11
|
If a snake bites before you charm it, what's the use of being a snake charmer? |
12
|
Wise words bring approval, but fools are destroyed by their own words. |
13
|
Fools base their thoughts on foolish assumptions, so their conclusions will be wicked madness; |
14
|
they chatter on and on. No one really knows what is going to happen; no one can predict the future. |
15
|
Fools are so exhausted by a little work that they can't even find their way home. |
16
|
What sorrow for the land ruled by a servant, the land whose leaders feast in the morning. |
17
|
Happy is the land whose king is a noble leader and whose leaders feast at the proper time to gain strength for their work, not to get drunk. |
18
|
Laziness leads to a sagging roof; idleness leads to a leaky house. |
19
|
A party gives laughter, wine gives happiness, and money gives everything! |
20
|
Never make light of the king, even in your thoughts. And don't make fun of the powerful, even in your own bedroom. For a little bird might deliver your message and tell them what you said. |
