Ecclesiastes 10:3
King James Version
“Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth and he saith to every one he a fool.”
Context
1Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom honour.
2A wise man’s heart at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.
3Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth and he saith to every one he a fool.
4If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
5There is an evil I have seen under the sun, as an error proceedeth from the ruler:
6Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
