Ecclesiastes 10:1-3

1 Dead flies make the oil of the perfumer give out an evil smell; more valued is a little wisdom than the great glory of the foolish.

2 The heart of the wise man goes in the right direction; but the heart of a foolish man in the wrong.

3 And when the foolish man is walking in the way, he has no sense and lets everyone see that he is foolish.

Ecclesiastes 10:12-15

12 The words of a wise man's mouth are sweet to all, but the lips of a foolish man are his destruction.

13 The first words of his mouth are foolish, and the end of his talk is evil crime.

14 The foolish are full of words; man has no knowledge of what will be; and who is able to say what will be after him?

15 The work of the foolish will be a weariness to him, because he has no knowledge of the way to the town.
