Ecclesiastes 10:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² Words spoken by the wise bring them favor,
    but the lips of fools consume them.
¹³ The words of their mouths begin in foolishness,
    and their talk ends in wicked madness;
¹⁴ yet fools talk on and on.
    No one knows what is to happen,
    and who can tell anyone what the future holds?
