1
Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to send forth an evil odor; `so' doth a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.
2
A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
3

4
If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for gentleness allayeth great offences.

14
A fool also multiplieth words: `yet' man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?
15
The labor of fools wearieth every one of them; for he knoweth not how to go to the city.
16
Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
17

18
By slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.
19
A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh glad the life; and money answereth all things.
