Ecclesiastes 10:8 (YLT) Young's Literal Translation

1 Dead flies cause a perfumer's perfume To send forth a stink; The precious by reason of wisdom -- By reason of honour -- a little folly!
2 The heart of the wise is at his right hand, And the heart of a fool at his left.
3 And also, when he that is a fool Is walking in the way, his heart is lacking, And he hath said to every one, `He is a fool.`
4 If the spirit of the ruler go up against thee, Thy place leave not, For yielding quieteth great sinners.
5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun, As an error that goeth out from the ruler,
6 He hath set the fool in many high places, And the rich in a low place do sit.
7 I have seen servants on horses, And princes walking as servants on the earth.
8 Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And whoso is breaking a hedge, a serpent biteth him.
9 Whoso is removing stones is grieved by them, Whoso is cleaving trees endangered by them.
10 If the iron hath been blunt, And he the face hath not sharpened, Then doth he increase strength, And wisdom is advantageous to make right.
11 If the serpent biteth without enchantment, Then there is no advantage to a master of the tongue.
12 Words of the mouth of the wise are gracious, And the lips of a fool swallow him up.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly, And the latter end of his mouth Is mischievous madness.
14 And the fool multiplieth words: `Man knoweth not that which is, And that which is after him, who doth declare to him?`
15 The labour of the foolish wearieth him, In that he hath not known to go unto the city.
16 Wo to thee, O land, when thy king is a youth, And thy princes do eat in the morning.
17 Happy art thou, O land, When thy king is a son of freemen, And thy princes do eat in due season, For might, and not for drunkenness.
18 By slothfulness is the wall brought low, And by idleness of the hands doth the house drop.
19 For mirth they are making a feast, And wine maketh life joyful, And the silver answereth with all.
20 Even in thy mind a king revile not, And in the inner parts of thy bed-chamber Revile not the rich: For a fowl of the heavens causeth the voice to go, And a possessor of wings declareth the word.
1 Dead H4194 NMS flies H2070 cause the ointment H8081 NMS of the apothecary H7543 to send forth H5042 a stinking savor H887 : so doth a little H4592 folly H5531 him that is in reputation H3368 AMS for wisdom H2451 and honor H3519 .
2 A wise man H2450 AMS \'s heart H3820 NMS is at his right hand H3225 ; but a fool H3684 NMS \'s heart H3820 NMS at his left H8040 .
3 Yea also H1571 W-CONJ , when he that is a fool H7945 walketh H1980 by the way H1870 , his wisdom H3820 CMS-3MS faileth H2638 him , and he saith H559 to every one H3605 that he H1931 PPRO-3MS is a fool H5530 .
4 If H518 PART the spirit H7307 NFS of the ruler H4910 rise up H5927 against H5921 PREP-2MS thee , leave H5117 not H408 NPAR thy place H4725 ; for H3588 CONJ yielding H4832 pacifieth H5117 great H1419 offenses H2399 .
5 There is H3426 PART an evil H7451 AFS which I have seen H7200 VQQ1MS under H8478 NMS the sun H8121 , as an error H7684 which proceedeth H3318 from ML-CMP the ruler H7989 :
6 Folly H5529 is set H5414 in great H7227 AMP dignity H4791 , and the rich H6223 sit H3427 in low place H8216 .
7 I have seen H7200 VQQ1MS servants H5650 NMP upon H5921 PREP horses H5483 , and princes H8269 walking H1980 as servants H5650 upon H5921 PREP the earth H776 D-GFS .
8 He that diggeth H2658 a pit H1475 shall fall H5307 into it ; and whoso breaketh H6555 a hedge H1447 , a serpent H5175 shall bite H5391 him .
9 Whoso removeth H5265 stones H68 NFP shall be hurt H6087 therewith ; and he that cleaveth H1234 wood H6086 shall be endangered H5533 thereby .
10 If H518 PART the iron H1270 be blunt H6949 , and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS do not H3808 NADV whet H7043 the edge H6440 NMP , then must he put to H1396 more strength H2428 : but wisdom H2451 NFS is profitable H3504 to direct H3787 .
11 Surely H518 PART the serpent H5175 D-NMS will bite H5391 without H3808 enchantment H3908 ; and a babbler H1167 is no H369 W-NPAR better H3504 .
12 The words H1697 CMP of a wise man H2450 AMS \'s mouth H6310 CMS-1MS are gracious H2580 NMS ; but the lips H8193 of a fool H3684 NMS will swallow up H1104 himself .
13 The beginning H8462 of the words H1697 CMP of his mouth H6310 is foolishness H5531 : and the end H319 of his talk H6310 CMS-3MS is mischievous H7451 AFS madness H1948 .
14 A fool H5530 also is full H7235 of words H1697 : a man H120 D-NMS cannot H3808 NADV tell H3045 what shall be IPRO ; and what H834 W-RPRO shall be H1961 after H310 M-ADV-3MS him , who H4310 IPRO can tell H5046 VHY3MS him ?
15 The labor H5999 of the foolish H3684 wearieth H3021 every one of them , because H834 RPRO he knoweth H3045 VQQ3MS not H3808 ADV how to go H1980 L-VQFC to H413 PREP the city H5892 .
16 Woe H337 to thee , O land H776 GFS , when thy king H7945 is a child H5288 , and thy princes H8269 eat H398 in the morning H1242 B-NMS !
17 Blessed H835 art thou , O land H776 GFS , when thy king H7945 is the son H1121 of nobles H2715 , and thy princes H8269 eat H398 in due season H6256 , for strength H1369 , and not H3808 W-NPAR for drunkenness H8358 !
18 By much slothfulness H6103 the building H4746 decayeth H4355 ; and through idleness H8220 of the hands H3027 NFD the house H1004 droppeth through H1811 .
19 A feast H3899 NMS is made H6213 for laughter H7814 , and wine H3196 maketh merry H8055 VPY3MS : but money H3701 answereth H6030 VQY3MS all H3605 things .
20 Curse H7043 not H408 NPAR the king H4428 NMS , no H1571 CONJ not in thy thought H4093 ; and curse H7043 not H408 NPAR the rich H6223 AMS in thy bedchamber H2315 : for H3588 CONJ a bird H5775 NMS of the air H8064 D-NMD shall carry H1980 the voice H6963 , and that which hath H1167 wings H3671 shall tell H5046 the matter H1697 .
