Ecclesiastes - Chapter: 10


10:1	Flies `that dien, leesen the swetnesse of oynement. Litil foli at a tyme is preciousere than wisdom and glorie.
10:2	The herte of a wijs man is in his riyt side; and the herte of a fool is in his left side.
10:3	But also a fool goynge in the weie, whanne he is vnwijs, gessith alle men foolis.
10:4	If the spirit of hym, that hath power, stieth on thee, forsake thou not thi place; for heeling schal make gretteste synnes to ceesse.
10:5	An yuel is, which Y siy vndur the sunne, and goith out as bi errour fro the face of the prince; a fool set in hiy dignyte,
10:6	and riche men sitte bynethe.
10:7	I siy seruauntis on horsis, and princes as seruauntis goynge on the erthe.
10:8	He that diggith a diche, schal falle in to it; and an eddre schal bite hym, that distrieth an hegge.
10:9	He that berith ouer stoonys, schal be turmentid in tho; and he that kittith trees, schal be woundid of tho.
10:10	If yrun is foldid ayen, and this is not as bifore, but is maad blunt, it schal be maad scharp with myche trauel; and wisdom schal sue aftir bisynesse.
10:11	If a serpent bitith, it bitith in silence; he that bacbitith priueli, hath no thing lesse than it.
10:12	The wordis of the mouth of a wijs man is grace; and the lippis of an vnwijs man schulen caste hym doun.
10:13	The bigynnyng of hise wordis is foli; and the laste thing of his mouth is the worste errour.
10:14	A fool multiplieth wordis; a man noot, what was bifore hym, and who mai schewe to hym that, that schal come aftir hym?
10:15	The trauel of foolis shal turment hem, that kunnen not go in to the citee.
10:16	Lond, wo to thee, whos kyng is a child, and whose princes eten eerli.
10:17	Blessid is the lond, whos kyng is noble; and whose princis eten in her tyme, to susteyne the kynde, and not to waste.
10:18	Betere is wisdom than armuris of batel; and he that synneth in o thing, schal leese many goodis.
10:19	In leiyyng thei disposen breed and wyn, that thei drynkynge ete largeli; and alle thingis obeien to monei.
10:20	In thi thouyt bacbite thou not the kyng, and in the priuete of thi bed, curse thou not a riche man; for the briddis of heuene schulen bere thi vois, and he that hath pennys, schal telle the sentence.


10:1	Dead flies cause to stinke, and putrifie the ointment of the apoticarie: so doeth a litle follie him that is in estimation for wisedome, and for glorie.
10:2	The heart of a wise man is at his right hand: but the heart of a foole is at his left hand.
10:3	And also when the foole goeth by the way, his heart faileth, and he telleth vnto all that he is a foole.
10:4	If the spirite of him that ruleth, rise vp against thee, leaue not thy place: for gentlenes pacifieth great sinnes.
10:5	There is an euil that I haue seene vnder the sunne, as an errour that proceedeth from the face of him that ruleth.
10:6	Follie is set in great excellencie, and the riche set in the lowe place.
10:7	I haue seene seruants on horses, and princes walking as seruants on the ground.
10:8	He that diggeth a pit, shall fal into it, and he that breaketh the hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
10:9	He that remooueth stones, shall hurt himselfe thereby, and hee that cutteth wood, shall be in danger thereby.
10:10	If the yron be blunt, and one hath not whet the edge, he must then put to more strength: but the excellencie to direct a thing is wisedome.
10:11	If the serpent bite, when he is not charmed: no better is a babbler.
10:12	The words of ye mouth of a wise man haue grace: but the lippes of a foole deuoure himselfe.
10:13	The beginning of the wordes of his mouth is foolishnesse, and the latter ende of his mouth is wicked madnesse.
10:14	For the foole multiplieth woordes, saying, Man knoweth not what shall be: and who can tell him what shall be after him?
10:15	The labour of the foolish doeth wearie him: for he knoweth not to goe into the citie.
10:16	Woe to thee, O lande, when thy King is a childe, and thy princes eate in the morning.
10:17	Blessed art thou, O land, when thy King is the sonne of nobles, and thy princes eate in time, for strength and not for drunkennesse.
10:18	By slouthfulnes the roofe of the house goeth to decaie, and by the ydlenesse of the handes the house droppeth through.
10:19	They prepare bread for laughter, and wine comforteth the liuing, but siluer answereth to all.
10:20	Curse not the King, no not in thy thought, neither curse the rich in thy bed chamber: for the foule of the heauen shall carie the voice, and that which hath wings, shall declare the matter.
