Ecclesiastes 10:12-15

RHE

NIV

12 The words of the mouth of a wise man are grace: but the lips of a fool shall throw him down headlong.
12 Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious, but fools are consumed by their own lips.
13 The beginning of his words is folly, and the end of his talk is a mischievous error.
13 At the beginning their words are folly; at the end they are wicked madness—
14 A fool multiplieth words. A man cannot tell what hath been before him: 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 fools shall afflict them that know not how to go to the city.
15 The toil of fools wearies them; they do not know the way to town.
