21:009:016 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
21:009:017 The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
21:009:018 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
21:010:001 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.
21:010:002 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
21:010:003 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
21:010:004 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
21:010:005 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
21:010:006 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
21:010:007 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
