Ecclesiastes 10 gives a list of sayings emphasizing the good of wisdom and the negativity of folly. He starts with: as dead flies give perfume a bad smell so folly outweighs wisdom and honour... fools lack sense... I have seen slaves on horseback, while princes go on foot like slaves... if a snake bites before it is charmed, there is no profit for the charmer... words from a wise man are gracious, but a fool is consumed by his own lips... the fool multiplies words... blessed are you, O land whose king is of noble birth... if a man is lazy the rafters sag... a feast is made for laughter and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything!
