The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.

The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.

The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
