Ecclesiastes 10:5-15 - ESV - There is an evil that I have seen under the sun...

5 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were ¹an error proceeding from the ruler:

6 ²folly is set in many high places, and the rich sit in a low place.

7 ³I have seen slaves ⁴on horses, and princes walking on the ground like slaves.

8 He who ⁵digs a pit will fall into it, and ⁶a serpent will bite him who breaks through a wall.

9 ⁷He who quarries stones is hurt by them, and he who ⁸splits logs is endangered by them.

10 If the iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge, he must use more strength, but wisdom helps one to succeed.^a

11 If the serpent bites before it is ⁹charmed, there is no advantage to the charmer.

12 The words of a wise man's mouth ¹⁰win him favor,^b but ¹¹the lips of a fool consume him.

13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is evil madness.

14 ¹²A fool multiplies words, though no man knows what is to be, and who can tell him ¹³what will be after him?

15 The toil of a fool wearies him, for he does not know ¹⁴the way to the city.

Eclesiastés 10:5 Hay un mal que he visto bajo el sol, como error que procede del gobernante:

5 Hay otro mal que debajo del sol he visto; como salido de delante del gobernador por yerro

5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:

5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun, As an error proceeding from the ruler:

Eclesiastés 10:5 Las ironías de la vida
He visto otro mal bajo el sol: los reyes y gobernantes cometen un grave error

5 Hay un mal que he visto en esta vida, semejante al error que cometen los gobernantes:

5 Hay un mal que debajo del sol he visto, á manera de error emanado del príncipe:

5 Hay otro mal que debajo del sol he visto; como salido de delante del gobernador por yerro:
