WEBVTT 00:30.680 --> 00:35.160 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from 00:35.160 --> 00:35.540 the ruler. 00:36.420 --> 00:39.820 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. 00:40.540 --> 00:44.560 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the 00:44.560 --> 00:44.860 earth. 00:45.760 --> 00:50.500 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it, and whoso breaketh an hedge a serpent 00:50.500 --> 00:51.200 shall bite him. 00:51.880 --> 00:57.260 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith, and he that cleaveth wood shall 00:57.260 --> 00:58.340 be endangered thereby. 00:58.340 --> 01:03.720 If the iron be blunt, and he do not wet the edge, then must he put to more 01:03.720 --> 01:04.240 strength. 01:04.660 --> 01:06.260 But wisdom is profitable to direct. 01:06.960 --> 01:10.860 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment, and a babbler is no better. 01:11.540 --> 01:15.640 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool will 01:15.640 --> 01:16.660 swallow up himself. 01:17.260 --> 01:21.400 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is 01:21.400 --> 01:22.260 mischievous madness. 01:22.860 --> 01:25.060 A fool also is full of words. 01:25.920 --> 01:30.000 A man cannot tell what shall be, and what shall be after him, who can tell 01:30.000 --> 01:30.220 him? 01:30.820 --> 01:34.860 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to 01:34.860 --> 01:35.560 go to the city. 01:36.300 --> 01:40.420 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning. 01:41.180 --> 01:45.640 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in 01:45.640 --> 01:48.520 due season for strength, and not for drunkenness. 01:49.080 --> 01:53.400 By much slothfulness the building decayeth, and through idleness of the 01:53.400 --> 01:54.860 hands the house droppeth through. 01:55.380 --> 01:59.860 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry, but money answereth all 01:59.860 --> 02:00.440 things. 02:01.080 --> 02:05.420 Curse not the king, no, not in thy thought, and curse not the rich in thy 02:05.420 --> 02:06.020 bedchamber. 02:06.560 --> 02:10.300 For a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall 02:10.300 --> 02:10.860 tell the matter.
