Ecclesiastes 9:17--10:1

The words
<01697>

of wise
<02450>

[men are] heard
<08085> (8737)

in quiet
<05183>

more than the cry
<02201>

of him that ruleth
<04910> (8802)

among fools
<03684>_.

Wisdom
<02451>

[is] better
<02896>

than weapons
<03627>

of war
<07128>_:

but one
<0259>

sinner
<02398> (8802)

destroyeth
<06> (8762)

much
<07235> (8687)

good
<02896>_.

Dead
<04194>

flies
<02070>

cause the ointment
<08081>

of the apothecary
<07543> (8802)

to send forth
<05042> (8686)

a stinking savour
<0887> (8686)_:

[so doth] a little
<04592>

folly
<05531>

him that is in reputation
<03368>

for wisdom
<02451>

[and] honour
<03519>_.

{Dead...: Heb. Flies of death}
