2 1A wise man's heart inclines him to the right, but a fool's heart to the left.
3 Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he 2says to everyone that he is a fool.
4 If the anger of the ruler rises against you, 3do not leave your place, 4for calmnessa will lay great offenses to rest.
5 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were 5an error proceeding from the ruler:
6 6folly is set in many high places, and the rich sit in a low place.
7 7I have seen slaves 8on horses, and princes walking on the ground like slaves.
8 He who 9digs a pit will fall into it, and 10a serpent will bite him who breaks through a wall.
9 11He who quarries stones is hurt by them, and he who 12splits logs is endangered by them.
10 If the iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge, he must use more strength, but wisdom helps one to succeed.b
11 If the serpent bites before it is 13charmed, there is no advantage to the charmer.
12 The words of a wise man's mouth 14win him favor,c but 15the lips of a fool consume him.
