A series of proverbs contrasting wisdom and folly: as dead flies spoil perfume, so a little folly ruins wisdom and honor. The Preacher warns of the danger of foolish rulers who set the lowly high and the noble low, of careless work, and of the fool who multiplies words and cannot even find the way to town, reminders that folly brings trouble and wisdom brings success.
