1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour:
2 A wise man’s heart
3 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth
4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
5 There is an evil
6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
9 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith;
10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom
11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
12 The words of a wise man’s mouth
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth
14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
15 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king
17 Blessed
18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all
20 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
