1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: likewise a small act of folly unto him that is esteemed for wisdom and honour.
2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left.
3 Even when the fool walks by the way, he lacks prudence, and he says unto every one that he is a fool.
4 If the spirit of the ruler rises up against thee, do not leave thy place; for meekness pacifies great sins.
