Ecclesiastes 10:12-15
King James Version
KJV
New International Version
NIV
12
The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
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 foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
13
At the beginning their words are folly; at the end they are wicked madness—
14
A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
14
and fools multiply words. No one knows what is coming— who can tell someone else what will happen after them?
15
The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
15
The toil of fools wearies them; they do not know the way to town.
