Scripture Content

Dead flies make the perfumer's ointment give off a stench; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for calmness will lay great offenses to rest. Through sloth the roof sinks in, and through indolence the house leaks.
