Verse 1א׳Standard2,722

זְבוּבֵי מָוֶת יַבְאִישׁ יַבִּיעַ שֶׁמֶן רוֹקֵחַ יָקָר מֵחָכְמָה מִכָּבוֹד סִכְלוּת מְעָֽט

Dead flies make the ointment of the perfumer fetid and putrid; So doth a little folly outweigh wisdom and honour.

Verse 2ב׳Standard811

לֵב חָכָם לִֽימִינוֹ וְלֵב כְּסִיל לִשְׂמֹאלֽוֹ

A wise man’s understanding is at his right hand; but a fool’s understanding at his left.

Verse 3ג׳Standard1,520

וְגַם־בַּדֶּרֶךְ כשהסכל הֹלֵךְ לִבּוֹ חָסֵר וְאָמַר לַכֹּל סָכָל הֽוּא

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

Verse 4ד׳Standard2,556

אִם־רוּחַ הַמּוֹשֵׁל תַּעֲלֶה עָלֶיךָ מְקוֹמְךָ אַל־תַּנַּח כִּי מַרְפֵּא יַנִּיחַ חֲטָאִים גְּדוֹלִֽים

If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for gentleness allayeth great offences.

Verse 5ה׳Standard3,955

יֵשׁ רָעָה רָאִיתִי תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ כִּשְׁגָגָה שֶׁיֹּצָא מִלִּפְנֵי הַשַּׁלִּֽיט

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, like an error which proceedeth from a ruler:

Verse 6ו׳Standard2,571

נִתַּן הַסֶּכֶל בַּמְּרוֹמִים רַבִּים וַעֲשִׁירִים בַּשֵּׁפֶל יֵשֵֽׁבוּ

Folly is set on great heights, and the rich sit in low place.

Verse 7ז׳Standard2,226

רָאִיתִי עֲבָדִים עַל־סוּסִים וְשָׂרִים הֹלְכִים כַּעֲבָדִים עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ

I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.

Verse 8ח׳Standard1,888

חֹפֵר גּוּמָּץ בּוֹ יִפּוֹל וּפֹרֵץ גָּדֵר יִשְּׁכֶנּוּ נָחָֽשׁ

He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh through a fence, a serpent shall bite him.

Verse 9ט׳Standard1,072

מַסִּיעַ אֲבָנִים יֵעָצֵב בָּהֶם בּוֹקֵעַ עֵצִים יִסָּכֶן בָּֽם

Whoso quarrieth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood is endangered thereby.

Verse 10י׳Standard2,483

אִם־קֵהָה הַבַּרְזֶל וְהוּא לֹא־פָנִים קִלְקַל וַחֲיָלִים יְגַבֵּר וְיִתְרוֹן הכשיר חָכְמָֽה

If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength; but wisdom is profitable to direct.
