1. Dead flies cause the ointment of the perfumer to send forth a foul odor: so does a little folly to him that is respected for wisdom and honor.
2. A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
3. Yea also, when he that is a fool walks by the way, his wisdom fails him, and he says to every one that he is a fool.
4. If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, leave not your post; for yielding pacifies great offences.
