Ecclesiastes 10:1-2
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
Miscellaneous Observations
10 Dead flies make the perfumer’s ointment give off a foul odour;
so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honour.
2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right,
but the heart of a fool to the left.

but the heart of the fool to the left.
