| 論智慧與愚昧 |
| 10:1 | [NASB] Dead flies make a perfumer's oil stink, so a little foolishness is weightier than wisdom {and} honor. |
| 10:2 | [NASB] A wise man's heart {directs him} toward the right, but the foolish man's heart {directs him} toward the left. |
| 10:3 | [NASB] Even when the fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking and he demonstrates to everyone {that} he is a fool. |
| 10:4 | [NASB] If the ruler's temper rises against you, do not abandon your position, because composure allays great offenses. |
| 10:5 | [NASB] There is an evil I have seen under the sun, like an error which goes forth from the ruler-- |
| 10:6 | [NASB] folly is set in many exalted places while rich men sit in humble places. |
| 10:7 | [NASB] I have seen slaves {riding} on horses and princes walking like slaves on the land. |
| 10:8 | [NASB] He who digs a pit may fall into it, and a serpent may bite him who breaks through a wall. |
| 10:9 | [NASB] He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, and he who splits logs may be endangered by them. |
| 10:10 | [NASB] If the axe is dull and he does not sharpen {its} edge, then he must exert more strength. Wisdom has the advantage of giving success. |
| 10:11 | [NASB] If the serpent bites before being charmed, there is no profit for the charmer. |
| 10:12 | [NASB] Words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious, while the lips of a fool consume him; |
| 10:13 | [NASB] the beginning of his talking is folly and the end of it is wicked madness. |
| 10:14 | [NASB] Yet the fool multiplies words. No man knows what will happen, and who can tell him what will come after him? |
| 10:15 | [NASB] The toil of a fool {so} wearies him that he does not {even} know how to go to a city. |
| 10:16 | [NASB] Woe to you, O land, whose king is a lad and whose princes feast in the morning. |
| 10:17 | [NASB] Blessed are you, O land, whose king is of nobility and whose princes eat at the appropriate time--for strength and not for drunkenness. |
| 10:18 | [NASB] Through indolence the rafters sag, and through slackness the house leaks. |
| 10:19 | [NASB] {Men} prepare a meal for enjoyment, and wine makes life merry, and money is the answer to everything. |
| 10:20 | [NASB] Furthermore, in your bedchamber do not curse a king, and in your sleeping rooms do not curse a rich man, for a bird of the heavens will carry the sound and the winged creature will make the matter known. |
