Ecclesiastes 10:1-3

New American Standard Bible 1995

A Little Foolishness

10 Dead flies make a ^(A)perfumer’s oil stink, so a little foolishness is weightier than wisdom and honor. ² A wise man’s heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish ^(B)man’s heart directs him toward the left. ³ Even when the fool walks along the road, his ^[a]sense is lacking and he ^[b](C)demonstrates to everyone that he is a fool.
