When Wisdom Doesn't Seem Worth It (11/03/24)

Ecclesiastes 10: 1-7 1 Dead flies make the perfumer's ointment give off a stench;    so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.2 A wise man's heart inclines him to the right,    but a fool's heart to the left.3 Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense,    and he says to everyone that he is a fool.4 If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place,    for calmness[a] will lay great offenses to rest. 5 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were an error proceeding from the ruler: 6 folly is set in many high places, and the rich sit in a low place. 7 I have seen slaves on horses, and princes walking on the ground like slaves.
