Ecclesiastes 10:2

English Standard Version 2016

A wise man’s heart inclines him to the right, but a fool’s heart to the left.

See the chapter Copy

A fool multiplies words, though no man knows what is to be, and who can tell him what will be after him?

If the iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge, he must use more strength, but wisdom helps one to succeed.

Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdom when he has no sense?

The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools is deceiving.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.

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

And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so the hearts of fools.
