Ecclesiastes 10:2

King James 2000

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

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

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

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

Whatsoever 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.

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

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

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

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