Ecclesiastes 10:12-15

12 What the wise say brings them honor, but fools are destroyed by their own words.

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

13 They start out with silly talk and end up with pure madness.

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

14 A fool talks on and on. No one knows what is going to happen next, and no one can tell us what will happen after we die.

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

15 Only someone too stupid to find his way home would wear himself out with work.

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