Ecclesiastes 10:12-15

CEBA

NIV

12 Words from a wise person's mouth are beneficial, but fools are devoured by their own lips.
12 Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious, but fools are consumed by their own lips.
13 Fools start out talking foolishness and end up speaking awful nonsense.
13 At the beginning their words are folly; at the end they are wicked madness—
14 Fools talk too much! No one knows what will happen; no one can say what will happen in the future.
14 and fools multiply words. No one knows what is coming— who can tell someone else what will happen after them?
15 The hard work of fools tires them out because they don't even know the way to town!
15 The toil of fools wearies them; they do not know the way to town.
