2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
12 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

A disciple's Ecclesiastes Chapter 10 comment on 4/06/2018, 10:50am...
"Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better." For the ones who have had a lifetime of selfishness and the need to be constantly validated and approved, it is an especially difficult way to learn the discipline of Christ. Some grow up in households where so-called liberal views prevail and the heathen mentality is presumed to be Natural; but God's grace is greater.
Exegesis 1's Ecclesiastes Chapter 10 comment on 8/21/2017, 9:06pm...
Ecclesiastes is a 'wisdom book'. In his writings, the Preacher has stated that all history and human activity is subject to the Sovereign Will of God (3:11, 7:13). In chapter 10, the Preacher compartmentalizes both the spiritual and the natural world; 'feasting brings laughter, wine brings joy, and money answers everything', but Yahweh will Judge all.
