Ecclesiastes 10:12-14

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹² The words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious,^(A)
but the lips of a fool consume him.^(B)
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly,
but the end of his speaking is evil madness.
¹⁴ Yet the fool multiplies words.
No one knows what will happen,
and who can tell anyone what will happen after him?^(C)
