Ecclesiastes 10:1

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

As dead flies bring a stench to the perfumer’s oil, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

World English Bible (WEB)

Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to send forth an evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.

Strong's King James

Dead{H4194} flies{H2070} cause the ointment{H8081} of the apothecary{H7543}{(H8802)} to send forth{H5042}{(H8686)} a stinking savour{H887}{(H8686)}: so doth a little{H4592} folly{H5531} him that is in reputation{H3368} for wisdom{H2451} and honour{H3519}.
