Ecclesiastes 10:2

Modern English Version

The heart of the wise moves him to the right for protection, but the heart of a fool to the left for vulnerability.

See the chapter Copy

A fool increases his words. No one knows what is to come; who can tell him what will come after him?

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

Why is money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom since he has no heart for it?

The wisdom of the prudent is to consider his way, but the folly of fools is deceit.

Whatever your hands find to do, do with your strength; for there is no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol where you are going.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you.

He will set the sheep at His right hand, but the goats at the left.

If you then were raised with Christ, desire those things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God.

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