Ecclesiastes 10:1-3
Complete Jewish Bible

10 Just as dead flies make perfumed oil stink,
so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

2 A wise man’s heart leads him rightly,
but a fool’s heart leads him astray;
3 and when a fool travels, he has no good sense,
thus showing everyone that he is a fool.

Ecclesiastes 10:1-3
New International Version

10 As dead flies give perfume a bad smell,
    so a little folly(A) outweighs wisdom and honor.
2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right,
    but the heart of the fool to the left.
3 Even as fools walk along the road,
    they lack sense
    and show everyone(B) how stupid they are.
