Ecclesiastes 10:1-3

1 Dead flies make a perfumer's oil stink, so a little foolishness is weightier than wisdom and honor.
2 A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man's heart directs him toward the left.
3 Even when the fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking and he demonstrates to everyone that he is a fool.

Ecclesiastes 10:12-15

12 Words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious, while the lips of a fool consume him;
13 the beginning of his talking is folly and the end of it is wicked madness.
14 Yet the fool multiplies words. No man knows what will happen, and who can tell him what will come after him?
15 The toil of a fool so wearies him that he does not even know how to go to a city.
