Ecclesiastes 10:11-15 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
11
If a snake bites before it is charmed, there is no profit for the charmer.1
12
Words from a wise man's mouth are gracious,2 but a fool is consumed by his own lips.3
13
At the beginning his words are folly; at the end they are wicked madness--
14
and the fool multiplies words.4 No one knows what is coming-- who can tell him what will happen after him?5
15
A fool's work wearies him; he does not know the way to town.
