King James Version
"Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool."
— Ecclesiastes 10:3, King James Version
“Yea also, when the fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool. ”
“Yes also, when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.”
“Even when a fool walks along the road he lacks sense, and shows everyone what a fool he is.”
“Yea, and the fool when he walketh in the way, whereas he himself is a fool, esteemeth all men fools.”
“And when the foolish man is walking in the way, he has no sense and lets everyone see that he is foolish.”
“Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.”
Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.
A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.
Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
