21:009:012 For man also knoweth not his time:  as the fishes that are
           taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the
           snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it
           falleth suddenly upon them.

21:009:013 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed
           great unto me: 

21:009:014 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came
           a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great
           bulwarks against it: 

21:009:015 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his
           wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same
           poor man.

21:009:016 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength:  nevertheless the
           poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

21:009:017 The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of
           him that ruleth among fools.

21:009:018 Wisdom is better than weapons of war:  but one sinner
           destroyeth much good.

21:010:001 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth
           a stinking savour:  so doth a little folly him that is in
           reputation for wisdom and honour.

21:010:002 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at
           his left.

21:010:003 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his
           wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a
           fool.

21:010:004 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy
           place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.

21:010:005 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error
           which proceedeth from the ruler: 

21:010:006 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.

21:010:007 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as
           servants upon the earth.

21:010:008 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh
           an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

21:010:009 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that
           cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.

21:010:010 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must
           he put to more strength:  but wisdom is profitable to direct.

21:010:011 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a
           babbler is no better.

21:010:012 The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of
           a fool will swallow up himself.

21:010:013 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness:  and
           the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

21:010:014 A fool also is full of words:  a man cannot tell what shall be;
           and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
