Ecclesiastes 10:2

The Scriptures 1998

A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left.

See the chapter Copy

And a fool increases words; a man knows not what shall come to be; and who declares to him what shall be after him?

If an iron tool is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he needs more strength, and wisdom is advantageous to make right.

Why is this – a price in the hand Of a fool to buy wisdom, When there is no heart?

The wisdom of the clever is to understand His way, But the folly of fools is deceit.

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

“But seek first the reign of Elohim, and His righteousness, and all these matters shall be added to you.

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

If, then, you were raised with Messiah, seek the matters which are above, where Messiah is, seated at the right hand of Elohim.

The lips of the wise scatter knowledge, But the heart of fools is not so.
