Ecclesiastes 10:1-3
English Standard Version

10 Dead flies make (A)the perfumer's ointment give off a stench;
    so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
2 (B)A wise man's heart inclines him to the right,
    but a fool's heart to the left.
3 Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense,
    and he (C)says to everyone that he is a fool.

Ecclesiastes 10:1-3
New International Version

10 As dead flies give perfume a bad smell,
    so a little folly(A) outweighs wisdom and honor.
2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right,
    but the heart of the fool to the left.
3 Even as fools walk along the road,
    they lack sense
    and show everyone(B) how stupid they are.
