🎵 A Little Folly | Ecclesiastes 10:1–11 | Scripture Song MV · ASV 1901｜The Word Sung

🎵 A Little Folly | Ecclesiastes 10:1–11 What if Scripture were not only read, but sung — slowly enough for us to remain with every word? The Word Sung was created as a place to dwell in Scripture. In Ecclesiastes 10:1–11, the Preacher turns our attention to the quiet but serious contrast between wisdom and folly. A small thing can have a greater effect than we expect. Just as dead flies can spoil the precious oil of the perfumer, a little folly can outweigh wisdom and honor. The passage moves through a series of vivid observations: the heart of the wise and the heart of the fool, the danger of reacting hastily before a ruler, the disorder that comes when positions of honor are misplaced, and the risks hidden within ordinary work. A pit may be dug, a wall broken through, stones quarried, wood split — and in each image, Ecclesiastes reminds us that wisdom is not abstract. It shapes the way we respond, speak, work, and move through the uncertainties of life. Then comes one of the chapter’s most memorable pictures: If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct. Sometimes greater effort is not the answer. Sometimes what is needed is a sharpened edge — wisdom that knows how to act, when to wait, what to say, and where strength should be applied. The ASV 1901 Scripture is sung word for word, creating space to slow down, listen, pray, and remain with the Word. Let these Scripture Song MVs accompany you in the quiet rhythms of everyday life — during morning devotion and prayer, in Bible study and small-group gatherings, in moments of stillness throughout the day, or at night as you reflect on Scripture and prepare for sleep. Wherever you are, whenever your heart longs to turn again toward God, The Word Sung is here to accompany you — helping you slow down, come into His presence, and rest in His Word. Ecclesiastes 10 reminds us that folly does not always arrive in dramatic ways. Sometimes it appears in small choices, careless reactions, unguarded words, or effort spent without wisdom. Yet wisdom gives direction. It steadies the heart, sharpens discernment, and teaches us how to walk carefully in a world where actions carry consequences. A little folly can undo much. A little wisdom can redirect the way. Guard the heart. Sharpen the edge. Walk in wisdom. The Bible, Sung Word for Word. For Prayer, Meditation & Rest. The Word Sung — A Bible Music Library.
