Ecclesiastes 10章 ESV | 微读圣经

1Dead flies make 10:1 Ex. 30:25the perfumer’s ointment give off a stench;

so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

210:2 [ch. 2:14]A wise man’s heart inclines him to the right,

but a fool’s heart to the left.

3Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense,

and he 10:3 [Prov. 13:16; 18:2]says to everyone that he is a fool.

4If the anger of the ruler rises against you, 10:4 [ch. 8:3] do not leave your place,

10:4 [1 Sam. 25:24, 32, 33]; See Prov. 25:15for calmness10:4 Hebrew healing will lay great offenses to rest.

5There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were 10:5 ch. 5:6an error proceeding from the ruler:

610:6 [Esth. 3:1; Prov. 28:12; 29:2]folly is set in many high places, and the rich sit in a low place.

710:7 Prov. 19:10; [Prov. 30:22] I have seen slaves 10:7 [Esth. 6:8]on horses, and princes walking on the ground like slaves.

8He who 10:8 See Ps. 7:15digs a pit will fall into it,

and 10:8 Amos 5:19a serpent will bite him who breaks through a wall.

910:9 [1 Chr. 22:2] He who quarries stones is hurt by them,

and he who 10:9 [Deut. 19:5]splits logs is endangered by them.

10If the iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge,

he must use more strength,

but wisdom helps one to succeed.10:10 Or wisdom is an advantage for success

11If the serpent bites before it is 10:11 [Jer. 8:17]charmed,

there is no advantage to the charmer.

12The words of a wise man’s mouth 10:12 Prov. 10:32; 22:11; [Luke 4:22] win him favor,10:12 Or are gracious

but 10:12 See Prov. 18:7the lips of a fool consume him.

13The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness,

and the end of his talk is evil madness.

1410:14 See Prov. 15:2A fool multiplies words,

though no man knows what is to be,

and who can tell him 10:14 See ch. 3:22what will be after him?

15The toil of a fool wearies him,

for he does not know 10:15 [Isa. 35:8]the way to the city.

1610:16 Isa. 3:4, 12; [2 Chr. 13:7]Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child,

and your princes feast in the morning!

17Happy are you, O land, when your king is the son of the nobility,

and your princes feast at the proper time,

for strength, and not for 10:17 [Prov. 31:4; Isa. 5:11]drunkenness!

18Through sloth the roof sinks in,

and through indolence the house leaks.

19Bread is made for laughter,

and 10:19 See Ps. 104:15wine gladdens life,

and 10:19 [ch. 7:12]money answers everything.

20Even in your thoughts, 10:20 Ex. 22:28do not curse the king,

nor in your 10:20 See 2 Kgs. 6:12; Luke 12:3bedroom curse the rich,

for a bird of the air will carry your voice,

or some winged creature tell the matter.
