Vanity of vanities
FYI: The political terms "left" and "right" come from the organization of Parliament, when more liberal members would sit on the left side of the room. This is well after any biblical history, so when you read Ecclesiastes 10:2:The heart of the wise inclines to the right,do not interpret "left" and "right" as political. Ancient mythology tells us that left-handed people are cursed and evil, thus this passage tells us that the wise-hearted person tends to do good, and vice-versa. This is more clear if you're familiar with different Bible translations; check out this passage in the King James translation to see the mythology in play.
but the heart of the fool to the left.
