Ecclesiastes 10:12-14

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹² ¶ The words from the mouth of the wise man are grace, but the lips of the fool will swallow up himself.

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

¹⁴ The fool multiplies words and says, Man cannot tell what shall be, and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
