Ecclesiastes 9:17-Ecclesiastes 10:7 - Wisdom'Although Vulnerable'Is Superior To Folly
17 The words of the wise, in quietness, are heard, - beyond the outcry of one who ruleth over dullards. 18 Better is wisdom, than weapons of war, - but, one sinner, may destroy much good.
1 Dead flies, cause to stink and ferment, the oil of the perfumer, - More costly than wisdom or honour, is a little folly. 2 The sense of the wise, is on his right hand, - But, the sense of the dullard, on his left: 3 Yea, even by the way, as the foolish man walketh along, his sense faileth him - and he telleth everyone that, foolish, is he! 4 If, the spirit of a ruler, riseth up against thee, thy place, do not leave, for gentleness, pacifieth such as have greatly erred.
5 Here was a misfortune I had seen under the sun, - a veritable mistake that was going forth from the presence of one who had power:
6 Folly placed in great dignity, - while, the rich, in a low place, took their seat: 7 I had seen, servants, upon horses, - and, rulers, walking like servants, on the ground.
