Ecclesiastes 10 - King James Bible with Strong Numbers

¹ H4194DeadH2070fliesH8081cause the ointmentH7543of the apothecary[H8802] H5042to send forth[H8686] H887a stinking savour[H8686] H4592: so doth a littleH5531follyH3368him that is in reputationH2451for wisdomH3519and honour.

² H2450A wise man'sH3820heartH3225is at his right handH3684; but a fool'sH3820heartH8040at his left.

³ H5530Yea also, when he that is a foolH1980walketh[H8802] H1870by the wayH3820, his wisdomH2638failethH559him, and he saith[H8804] H5530to every one that he is a fool.

⁴ H7307If the spiritH4910of the ruler[H8802] H5927rise up[H8799] H3240against thee, leave[H8686] H4725not thy placeH4832; for yieldingH3240pacifieth[H8686] H1419greatH2399offences.

⁵ H3426There isH7451an evilH7200which I have seen[H8804] H8121under the sunH7684, as an errorH3318which proceedeth[H8802] H6440fromH7989the ruler:

⁶ H5529FollyH5414is set[H8738] H7227in greatH4791dignityH6223, and the richH3427sit[H8799] H8216in low place.

⁷ H7200I have seen[H8804] H5650servantsH5483upon horsesH8269, and princesH1980walking[H8802] H5650as servantsH776upon the earth.

⁸ H2658He that diggeth[H8802] H1475a pitH5307shall fall[H8799] H6555into it; and whoso breaketh[H8802] H1447an hedgeH5175, a serpentH5391shall bite[H8799]  him.

⁹ H5265Whoso removeth[H8688] H68stonesH6087shall be hurt[H8735] H1234therewith; and he that cleaveth[H8802] H6086woodH5533shall be endangered[H8735]  thereby.

¹⁰ H1270If the ironH6949be blunt[H8765] H7043, and he do not whet[H8773] H6440the edgeH1396, then must he put[H8762] H2428to more strengthH2451: but wisdomH3504is profitableH3787to direct[H8687] .

¹¹ H5175Surely the serpentH5391will bite[H8799] H3908without enchantmentH3956; and a babblerH1167 H3504is no better.

¹² H1697The wordsH2450of a wise man'sH6310mouthH2580are graciousH8193; but the lipsH3684of a foolH1104will swallow up[H8762]  himself.

¹³ H8462The beginningH1697of the wordsH6310of his mouthH5531is foolishnessH319: and the endH6310of his talkH7451is mischievousH1948madness.

¹⁴ H5530A foolH7235also is full[H8686] H1697of wordsH120: a manH3045cannot tell[H8799] H310what shall be; and what shall be afterH5046him, who can tell[H8686]  him?

¹⁵ H5999The labourH3684of the foolishH3021wearieth[H8762] H3045every one of them, because he knoweth[H8804] H3212not how to go[H8800] H5892to the city.

¹⁶ H337WoeH776to thee, O landH4428, when thy kingH5288is a childH8269, and thy princesH398eat[H8799] H1242in the morning!

¹⁷ H835BlessedH776art thou, O landH4428, when thy kingH1121is the sonH2715of noblesH8269, and thy princesH398eat[H8799] H6256in due seasonH1369, for strengthH8358, and not for drunkenness!

¹⁸ H6103By much slothfulnessH4746the buildingH4355decayeth[H8735] H8220; and through idlenessH3027of the handsH1004the houseH1811droppeth through[H8799] .

¹⁹ H3899A feastH6213is made[H8802] H7814for laughterH3196, and wineH8055maketh merry[H8762] H2416 H3701: but moneyH6030answereth[H8799]  all things .

²⁰ H7043Curse[H8762] H4428not the kingH4093, no not in thy thoughtH7043; and curse[H8762] H6223not the richH2315in thy bedchamberH4904 H5775: for a birdH8064of the airH3212shall carry[H8686] H6963the voiceH1167, and that which hathH3671wingsH5046shall tell[H8686] H1697the matter.
