論智愚
10 死蒼蠅使做香的膏油發出臭氣，這樣，一點愚昧也能敗壞智慧和尊榮。 2 智慧人的心居右，愚昧人的心居左。 3 並且愚昧人行路顯出無知，對眾人說他是愚昧人。 4 掌權者的心若向你發怒，不要離開你的本位，因為柔和能免大過。
5 我見日光之下有一件禍患，似乎出於掌權的錯誤， 6 就是愚昧人立在高位，富足人坐在低位。 7 我見過僕人騎馬，王子像僕人在地上步行。
8 挖陷坑的自己必掉在其中，拆牆垣的必為蛇所咬。 9 鑿開[a]石頭的必受損傷，劈開木頭的必遭危險。 10 鐵器鈍了，若不將刃磨快，就必多費氣力，但得智慧指教便有益處。 11 未行法術以先蛇若咬人，後行法術也是無益。
智者出言惠人
12 智慧人的口說出恩言，愚昧人的嘴吞滅自己。 13 他口中的言語起頭是愚昧，他話的末尾是奸惡的狂妄。 14 愚昧人多有言語，人卻不知將來有什麼事，他身後的事誰能告訴他呢？ 15 凡愚昧人，他的勞碌使自己困乏，因為連進城的路他也不知道。
16 邦國啊，你的王若是孩童，你的群臣早晨宴樂，你就有禍了！ 17 邦國啊，你的王若是貴胄之子，你的群臣按時吃喝，為要補力，不為酒醉，你就有福了！
論懈惰
18 因人懶惰，房頂塌下；因人手懶，房屋滴漏。 19 設擺筵席是為喜笑，酒能使人快活，錢能叫萬事應心。 20 你不可咒詛君王，也不可心懷此念，在你臥房也不可咒詛富戶。因為空中的鳥必傳揚這聲音，有翅膀的也必述說這事。

Ecclesiastes 10
New International Version
Ecclesiastes 10
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.
4 If a ruler’s anger rises against you,
do not leave your post;(C)
calmness can lay great offenses to rest.(D)
5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun,
the sort of error that arises from a ruler:
6 Fools are put in many high positions,(E)
while the rich occupy the low ones.
7 I have seen slaves on horseback,
while princes go on foot like slaves.(F)
8 Whoever digs a pit may fall into it;(G)
whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.(H)
9 Whoever quarries stones may be injured by them;
whoever splits logs may be endangered by them.(I)
10 If the ax is dull
and its edge unsharpened,
more strength is needed,
but skill will bring success.
11 If a snake bites before it is charmed,
the charmer receives no fee.(J)
12 Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious,(K)
but fools are consumed by their own lips.(L)
13 At the beginning their words are folly;
at the end they are wicked madness—
14 and fools multiply words.(M)
No one knows what is coming—
who can tell someone else what will happen after them?(N)
15 The toil of fools wearies them;
they do not know the way to town.
16 Woe to the land whose king was a servant[a](O)
and whose princes feast in the morning.
17 Blessed is the land whose king is of noble birth
and whose princes eat at a proper time—
for strength and not for drunkenness.(P)
18 Through laziness, the rafters sag;
because of idle hands, the house leaks.(Q)
19 A feast is made for laughter,
wine(R) makes life merry,
and money is the answer for everything.
20 Do not revile the king(S) even in your thoughts,
or curse the rich in your bedroom,
because a bird in the sky may carry your words,
and a bird on the wing may report what you say.

Ecclesiastes 10
English Standard Version
Ecclesiastes 10
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.
4 If the anger of the ruler rises against you, (D)do not leave your place,
(E)for calmness[a] will lay great offenses to rest.
5 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were (F)an error proceeding from the ruler: 6 (G)folly is set in many high places, and the rich sit in a low place. 7 (H)I have seen slaves (I)on horses, and princes walking on the ground like slaves.
8 He who (J)digs a pit will fall into it,
and (K)a serpent will bite him who breaks through a wall.
9 (L)He who quarries stones is hurt by them,
and he who (M)splits logs is endangered by them.
10 If the iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge,
he must use more strength,
but wisdom helps one to succeed.[b]
11 If the serpent bites before it is (N)charmed,
there is no advantage to the charmer.
12 The words of a wise man's mouth (O)win him favor,[c]
but (P)the lips of a fool consume him.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness,
and the end of his talk is evil madness.
14 (Q)A fool multiplies words,
though no man knows what is to be,
and who can tell him (R)what will be after him?
15 The toil of a fool wearies him,
for he does not know (S)the way to the city.
16 (T)Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child,
and your princes feast in the morning!
17 Happy are you, O land, when your king is the son of the nobility,
and your princes feast at the proper time,
for strength, and not for (U)drunkenness!
18 Through sloth the roof sinks in,
and through indolence the house leaks.
19 Bread is made for laughter,
and (V)wine gladdens life,
and (W)money answers everything.
20 Even in your thoughts, (X)do not curse the king,
nor in your (Y)bedroom curse the rich,
for a bird of the air will carry your voice,
or some winged creature tell the matter.
