Ecclesiastes 10:1-3

1 Dead flies can make even perfume stink. In the same way, a little foolishness can spoil wisdom.

2 The heart of the wise leads to right, but the heart of a fool leads to wrong.

3 Even in the way fools walk along the road, they show they are not wise; they show everyone how stupid they are.

Ecclesiastes 10:12-15

12 The words of the wise bring them praise, but the words of a fool will destroy them.

13 A fool begins by saying foolish things and ends by saying crazy and wicked things.

14 A fool talks too much. No one knows the future, and no one can tell what will happen after death.

15 Work wears fools out; they don't even know how to get home.
