Ecclesiastes 10:2 in Context — Ecclesiastes 10

1 [Assim como] as moscas mortas fazem cheirar mal do óleo do perfumador, [assim também] um pouco de tolice se sobrepõe à sabedoria e honra.

2 O coração do sábio [está] à sua direita; mas o coração do tolo [está] à sua esquerda.

3 E até quando o tolo vai pelo caminho, falta-lhe [bom-senso em seu] coração, e diz a todos que é ele é tolo.

4 Se o espírito de um chefe se levantar contra ti, não deixes teu lugar, porque a calma aquieta grandes ofensas.
