Berean Study Bible
As dead flies bring a stench to the perfumer’s oil, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

Dead flies cause a perfumer’s perfume To send forth a stink; The precious by reason of wisdom—By reason of honour—a little folly!

Holman Christian Standard Bible
Dead flies make a perfumer’s oil ferment and stink; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

New American Standard Bible
Dead flies make a perfumer's oil stink, so a little foolishness is weightier than wisdom [and] honor.
