Ecclesiastes 10:2

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

A wise man's heart inclines him toward the right, but a fool's heart toward 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 whet the edge, he must put forth more strength; but wisdom helps one to succeed.

Why should a fool have a price in his hand to buy wisdom, when he has no mind?

The wisdom of a prudent man 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 his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.

and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at 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 minds of fools.
