לֵב חָכָם לִֽימִינוֹ וְלֵב כְּסִיל לִשְׂמֹאלֽוֹ
A wise man’s understanding is at his right hand; but a fool’s understanding at his left.
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.
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.
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:
נִתַּן הַסֶּכֶל בַּמְּרוֹמִים רַבִּים וַעֲשִׁירִים בַּשֵּׁפֶל יֵשֵֽׁבוּ
Folly is set on great heights, and the rich sit in low place.
