Ecclesiastes 10:2

A Conservative Version

A wise man's heart is at his right hand, but a fool's heart at his left.

See the chapter Copy

A fool also multiplies words; [yet] man knows not what shall be, and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?

If the iron be blunt, and he does not whet the edge, then he must increase strength. But wisdom is advantageous to make right.

Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?

The wisdom of a prudent man is to understand his way, but the folly of fools is deceit.

Whatever thy hand finds to do, do with thy might, for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where thou go.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

And he will truly place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.

If therefore ye were raised with the Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the foolish, not so.
