1 † 1.1 DEad flies a 1.2 cause the ointment of the apotheca∣ry to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and ho∣nour b 1.3.
2 A wise man's heart c 1.4 is at his right hand d 1.5; but a fools heart is at his left e 1.6.
3 Yea also when he that is a fool walketh by the way f 1.7, † 1.8 his wisdom •…•…aileth him g 1.9, and he saith to every one that he is a fool h 1.10.
4 If the spirit i 1.11 of a ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place i 1.12, for * 1.13 yielding k 1.14 pacifieth l 1.15 great of∣fences m 1.16.
5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun n 1.17, as an errour which proceedeth † 1.18 from the ruler o 1.19.
6 Folly is set † 1.20 in great dignity p 1.21, and the rich q 1.22 sit in low place r 1.23.
7 I have seen servants s 1.24 * 1.25 upon horses t 1.26, and princes walking as servants upon Earth u 1.27.
8 * 1.28 He that diggeth a pit x 1.29 shall fall into it y 1.30; and whoso breaketh an hedg z 1.31 a serpent a 1.32 shall bite him.
