21:010:009 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby. 21:010:010 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct. 21:010:011 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better. 21:010:012 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. 21:010:013 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. 21:010:014 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him? 21:010:015 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city. 21:010:016 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning! 21:010:017 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! 21:010:018 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. 21:010:019 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things. 21:010:020 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. 21:011:001 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. 21:011:002 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 21:011:003 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. 21:011:004 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. 21:011:005 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. 21:011:006 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. 21:011:007 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: 21:011:008 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
