1<\/sup>Dying flies spoil the sweetness of the ointment. Wisdom and glory is more precious than a small and shortlived folly.<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>The heart of a wise man is in his right hand, and the heart of a fool is in his left hand.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>Yea, and the fool when he walketh in the way, whereas be himself is a fool, esteemeth all men fools.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>If the spirit of him that hath power, ascend upon thee, leave not thy place: because care will make the greatest sins to cease.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were by an error proceeding from the face of the prince:<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>A fool set in high dignity, and the rich sitting beneath.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>I have seen servants upon horses: and princes walking on the ground as servants.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>He that removeth stones, shall be hurt by them: and he that cutteth trees, shall be wounded by them.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>If the iron be blunt, and be not as before, but be made blunt, with much labour it shall be sharpened: and after industry shall follow wisdom.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>If a serpent bite in silence, he is nothing better that backbiteth secretly.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>The words of the mouth of a wise man are grace: but the lips of a fool shall throw him down headlong.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>The beginning of his words is folly, and the end of his talk is a mischievous error.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>A fool multiplieth words.
