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 .
