Ecclesiastes 10:2

The Burden Of Folly

¹ Dead flies make a perfumer’s oil stink, so a little foolishness is weightier than wisdom and honor. ² A wise man’s heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man’s heart directs him toward the left. ³ Even when the fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking and he demonstrates to everyone that he is a fool.

When he has no sense?
