Ecclesiastes 9:17-Ecclesiastes 10:7 - Wisdom'Although Vulnerable'Is Superior To Folly
17 A wise man's counsel that is followed in silence, is far above the crying of a captain among fools. 18 For wisdom is better than harness: but one unthrifty alone destroyeth much good.
1 Dead flies corrupt sweet ointment and make it to stink. Even so, oft times, he that hath been had in estimation for wisdom and honour is abhorred because of a little foolishness. 2 A wise man's heart is upon the righthand, but a fool's heart is upon the left. 3 A doting fool thinketh, that every man doth as foolishly as himself. 4 If a principal spirit be given thee to bear rule, be not negligent then in thine office: for so shall great wickedness be put down, as it were with a medicine.
5 Another plague is there, which I have seen under the sun; namely, the ignorance that is commonly among princes:
6 in that a fool sitteth in great dignity, and the rich are set down beneath. 7 I see servants ride upon horses, and princes going upon their feet as it were servants.
