Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 10 of Ecclesiastes. A small amount of folly can ruin a reputation built over a long time, like a dead fly that spoils perfume. The heart of the wise turns toward the right and the heart of the fool toward the left as a proverbial image of direction and discernment. When a ruler becomes angry, the wise person’s calmness can prevent a greater rupture. Meekness can be strategically powerful when facing authority.

Auch ob der Narr selbst närrisch ist in seinem Tun, doch hält er jedermann für einen Narren.
Y aun mientras va el necio por el camino, fáltale, su cordura, y dice a todos, que es necio.
Quand l'insensé marche dans un chemin, le sens lui manque, et il dit de chacun: Voilà un fou!
Lo stolto, eziandio mentre egli cammina per la via, è scemo di senno, e dice a tutti ch’egli è stolto
E, até quando o tolo vai pelo caminho, falta-lhe o seu entendimento e diz a todos que é tolo.
愚昧人的行徑顯出無知, 對眾人說,他是愚昧人。
