Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Ecclesiastes 10

Deli

If the ax is dull and the man does not whet the edge, he must put forth more strength; but wisdom helps him to succeed.

If the temper of the ruler rises up against you, do not leave your place [or show a resisting spirit]; for gentleness and calmness prevent or put a stop to great offenses.

DEAD FLIES cause the ointment of the perfumer to putrefy [and] send forth a vile odor; so does a little folly [in him who is valued for wisdom] outweigh wisdom and honor.

The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious and win him favor, but the lips of a fool consume him.

He who digs a pit [for others] will fall into it, and whoever breaks through a fence or a [stone] wall, a serpent will bite him. [Ps. 57:6.]
