Ecclesiastes 10:2

New King James 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. No man knows what is to be; Who can tell him what will be after him?

If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.

Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of wisdom, Since he has no heart for it?

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, But the folly of fools is deceit.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.

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

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

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

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, But the heart of the fool does not do so.
