Ecclesiastes 10:1-3 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

1. Dead flies cause the ointment of the perfumer to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly outweigh wisdom and honour.

2. A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

3. Yea also, when the fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
