1 Flies of death will cause the oil of the perfume to stink, it will ferment: the preciousness of wisdom above the honor of the least folly. 2 The heart of the wise one to his right, and the heart of the foolish one to his left. 3 And also as the foolish one went in the way, his heart was wanting, and he said to all, It is folly. 4 If the spirit of him ruling shall go up against thee, thou shalt not leave thy place; for quietness will put down great sins. 5 There is an evil I saw under the sun as an error going forth from before him having power: 6 Folly was given to great heights, and the rich were set in lowness. 7 I saw servants upon horses, and chiefs going as servants upon the earth.
