Ecclesiastes 10:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² People respect a wise person,
    because of the things that he says.
But the words of a fool will destroy him.
¹³ When a fool starts to speak,
    he says silly things.
When he finishes,
    he is saying crazy things that are wicked.
¹⁴     But he never stops talking.
Nobody knows what will happen in the future.
    Nobody can tell us what will happen after we die.
