Ecclesiastes 10:1-3

1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savor; so doth a little folly in him that hath a reputation for wisdom and honor.

2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand, but a fool's heart at his left.

3 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh along the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to everyone that he is a fool.

Ecclesiastes 10:12-15

12 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool will swallow himself up;

13 the beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

14 A fool also is full of words: A man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him -- who can tell him?

15 The labor of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
