Verse 4 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.
