I opened it at random and pointed and it said;
Ecclesiastes 10:1
"As dead flies give perfume a bad smell, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor."
I just bought some perfume on my way back off holiday.

Were there any dead flies in your perfume?
I sincerely hope not! Dead flies really do make a nice perfume stink!
OH, and just a little folly does outweigh wisdom, and honor.
Don't think so?
Stick around for a bit...we have alot of folks in this forum who are incredibly wise...(no, I'm not one of them, I'm afraid!)...but just a bit of stupidity in one post tends to discredit everything else they might have to say this afternoon.

Have you ever entered a classroom and told the teacher, " Go ahead, tell of about all this ridiculous stuff that you are going to go on about all semester."
That would not be a smart thing to do. Humbleness comes with humility. If you are humiliated that can be a good thing. It makes us more willing to learn.
Now I realize that you were making light of something. Just don't let a fly die in your perfume! lol

"I just bought some perfume on my way back off holiday."
Then don't get any dead flies in it.
I'm sort of missing why anyone would consider that insulting, though.

Opening the Bible at random is about as useful as opening the phone book at random!

I thought you were going to say it was because you stink.
