Ecclesiastes 10:20 — Bruhman Translator's Bible

Ecclesiastes 10:20⥂
_KJV:
Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
_BSB:
Do not curse the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich even in your bedroom, for a bird of the air may carry your words, and a winged creature may report your speech.
_Hebrew:
גַּ֣ם בְּ מַדָּֽעֲ ךָ֗ מֶ֚לֶךְ אַל ־ תְּקַלֵּ֔ל וּ בְ חַדְרֵי֙ מִשְׁכָּ֣בְ ךָ֔ אַל ־ תְּקַלֵּ֖ל עָשִׁ֑יר כִּ֣י ע֤וֹף הַ שָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ יוֹלִ֣יךְ אֶת ־ הַ קּ֔וֹל וּ בַ֥עַל כְּנָפַ֖יִם יַגֵּ֥יד דָּבָֽר ׃
