CSB

NIV

12 The words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious, but the lips of a fool consume him.
12 Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious, but fools are consumed by their own lips.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly, but the end of his speaking is evil madness.
13 At the beginning their words are folly; at the end they are wicked madness—
14 Yet the fool multiplies words. No one knows what will happen, and who can tell anyone what will happen after him?
14 and fools multiply words. No one knows what is coming— who can tell someone else what will happen after them?
15 The struggles of fools weary them, for they don't know how to go to the city.
15 The toil of fools wearies them; they do not know the way to town.
