Ecclesiastes 10:12-15

New Revised Standard NRS

12 Words spoken by the wise bring them favor, but the lips of fools consume them.

13 The words of their mouths begin in foolishness, and their talk ends in wicked madness;

14 yet fools talk on and on. No one knows what is to happen, and who can tell anyone what the future holds?

15 The toil of fools wears them out, for they do not even know the way to town.

New International Version NIV

12 Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious, but fools are consumed by their own lips.

13 At the beginning their words are folly; at the end they are wicked madness—

14 and fools multiply words. No one knows what is coming— who can tell someone else what will happen after them?

15 The toil of fools wearies them; they do not know the way to town.
