Ecclesiastes 10:13-15

Living Bible

^12-13 It is pleasant to listen to wise words, but a fool’s speech brings him to ruin. Since he begins with a foolish premise, his conclusion is sheer madness. ¹⁴ A fool knows all about the future and tells everyone in detail! But who can really know what is going to happen? ¹⁵ A fool is so upset by a little work that he has no strength for the simplest matter.^[a]
