Ecclesiastes 10:2 in Context — Ecclesiastes 10

1 LAS moscas muertas hacen heder [y] dar mal olor el perfume del perfumista: [así] una pequeña locura, al estimado por sabiduría y honra.

2 El corazón del sabio está á su mano derecha; mas el corazón del necio á su mano izquierda.

3 Y aun mientras va el necio por el camino, fálta[le] su cordura, y dice á todos, [que] es necio.

4 Si el espíritu del príncipe se exaltare contra ti, no dejes tu lugar; porque la lenidad hará cesar grandes ofensas.
