Ecclesiastes 10:2
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
A wise man’s heart inclines to the right, but the heart of a fool to the left.
In context
1 As dead flies bring a stench to the perfumer’s oil, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
2 A wise man’s heart inclines to the right, but the heart of a fool to the left.
3 Even as the fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking, and he shows everyone that he is a fool.
4 If the ruler’s temper flares against you, do not abandon your post, for calmness lays great offenses to rest.
