Ecclesiastes
- Ecclesiastes 10:1Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.As dead flies bring a stench to the perfumer’s oil, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
Isaiah
- Isaiah 7:18And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.On that day the LORD will whistle to the flies at the farthest streams of the Nile and to the bees in the land of Assyria.
