Found Phrase -- "Fly in the ointment"

Posted by rillian on February 02, 2003

THe phrase "a fly in the ointment" comes from Ecclesiastes 10.1: "Dead flies make the perfumer's ointment give off a foul odor"

This phrase is not mentioned in the Biblical quotes page, and should probably be added there.
