The Book of Ecclesiastes
Chapter 10:1-10
2 The heart of a wise man is at his right hand: but the heart of a fool is at his left hand.
3 And also when the fool goeth by the way, his heart faileth, and he telleth unto all that he is a fool.
4 If the spirit of him that ruleth, rise up against thee, leave not thy place: for gentleness pacifieth great sins. (a)
5 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as an error that proceedeth from the face of him that ruleth.
6 Folly is set in great excellency, and the rich sit in the low place.
7 I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking as servants on the ground.
8 He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it, and he that breaketh the hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
9 He that removeth stones, shall hurt himself thereby, and he that cutteth wood, shall be in danger thereby.
10 If the iron be blunt, and one hath not whet the edge, he must then put to more strength: but the excellency to direct a thing is wisdom.
(a) Read Romans 12:17-19
