Discovery BoxEcclesiastes 10:9-20
If the iron
<01270>
<01270>
the edge
<06440>_,
<06440>_,
to more strength
<02428>_:
<02428>_:
but wisdom
<02451>
<02451>
[is] profitable
<03504>
<03504>
Surely the serpent
<05175>
<05175>
without enchantment
<03908>_;
<03908>_;
is no better
<03504>_.
{a babbler: Heb. the master of the tongue}<03504>_.
The words
<01697>
<01697>
of a wise man's
<02450>
<02450>
mouth
<06310>
<06310>
[are] gracious
<02580>_;
<02580>_;
but the lips
<08193>
<08193>
of a fool
<03684>
himself. {gracious: Heb. grace}<03684>
The beginning
<08462>
<08462>
of the words
<01697>
<01697>
of his mouth
<06310>
<06310>
[is] foolishness
<05531>_:
<05531>_:
and the end
<0319>
<0319>
of his talk
<06310>
<06310>
[is] mischievous
<07451>
<07451>
madness
<01948>_.
{his talk: Heb. his mouth}<01948>_.
A fool
<05530>
<05530>
of words
<01697>_:
<01697>_:
a man
<0120>
<0120>
what shall be; and what shall be after
<0310>
him? {is full...: Heb. multiplieth words}<0310>
Woe
<0337>
<0337>
to thee, O land
<0776>_,
<0776>_,
when thy king
<04428>
<04428>
[is] a child
<05288>_,
<05288>_,
and thy princes
<08269>
<08269>
in the morning
<01242>_!
<01242>_!
Blessed
<0835>
<0835>
[art] thou, O land
<0776>_,
<0776>_,
when thy king
<04428>
<04428>
[is] the son
<01121>
<01121>
of nobles
<02715>_,
<02715>_,
and thy princes
<08269>
<08269>
in due season
<06256>_,
<06256>_,
for strength
<01369>_,
<01369>_,
and not for drunkenness
<08358>_!
<08358>_!
By much slothfulness
<06103>
<06103>
the building
<04746>
<04746>
and through idleness
<08220>
<08220>
of the hands
<03027>
<03027>
the house
<01004>
<01004>
A feast
<03899>
<03899>
for laughter
<07814>_,
<07814>_,
and wine
<03196>
<03196>
but money
<03701>
all [things]. {maketh...: Heb. maketh glad the life}<03701>
