    [bbe]  The heart of the wise man goes in the right direction; but the heart of a foolish man in the wrong.
10:3 [hgb]  并 且 愚 昧 人 行 路 ， 显 出 无 知 。 对 众 人 说 ， 他 是 愚 昧 人 。 
    [kjv]  Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
    [bbe]  And when the foolish man is walking in the way, he has no sense and lets everyone see that he is foolish.
10:4 [hgb]  掌 权 者 的 心 ， 若 向 你 发 怒 ， 不 要 离 开 你 的 本 位 ， 因 为 柔 和 能 免 大 过 。 
    [kjv]  If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
    [bbe]  If the wrath of the ruler is against you, keep in your place; in him who keeps quiet even great sins may be overlooked.
10:5 [hgb]  我 见 日 光 之 下 ， 有 一 件 祸 患 ， 似 乎 出 于 掌 权 的 错 误 ， 
    [kjv]  There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
    [bbe]  There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, like an error which comes by chance from a ruler:
10:6 [hgb]  就 是 愚 昧 人 立 在 高 位 。 富 足 人 坐 在 低 位 。

    [bbe]  The foolish are placed in high positions, but men of wealth are kept low.
10:7 [hgb]  我 见 过 仆 人 骑 马 ， 王 子 像 仆 人 在 地 上 步 行 。 
    [kjv]  I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
    [bbe]  I have seen servants on horses, and rulers walking on the earth as servants.
10:8 [hgb]  挖 陷 坑 的 ， 自 己 必 掉 在 其 中 。 拆 墙 垣 的 ， 必 为 蛇 所 咬 。 
    [kjv]  He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
    [bbe]  He who makes a hole for others will himself go into it, and for him who makes a hole through a wall the bite of a snake will be a punishment.
10:9 [hgb]  凿 开 （ 或 作 挪 移 ） 石 头 的 ， 必 受 损 伤 。 劈 开 木 头 的 ， 必 遭 危 险 。 
    [kjv]  Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.
    [bbe]  He who gets out stones from the earth will be damaged by them, and in the cutting of wood there is danger.
10:10 [hgb]  铁 器 钝 了 ， 若 不 将 刃 磨 快 ， 就 必 多 费 气 力 。 但 得 智 慧 指 教 ， 便 有 益 处 。 
    [kjv]  If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
    [bbe]  If the iron has no edge, and he does not make it sharp, then he has to put out more strength; but wisdom makes things go well.
