Ecclesiastes 10:2

American King James Version (1999)

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

See the chapter Copy

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

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

Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he has no heart to it?

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.

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

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, where you go.

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

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

If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
