Ecclesiastes 10:1-3

Easy-to-Read Version

10 A few dead flies will make even the best perfume stink. In the same way, a little foolishness can ruin much wisdom and honor.

² The thoughts of the wise lead them the right way, but the thoughts of the foolish lead them the wrong way. ³ Fools show how foolish they are, just walking down the road. Their minds are empty, and everyone knows it.
