Ecclesiastes 10:12-14
New International Version
12 Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious,(A)

13 At the beginning their words are folly;
at the end they are wicked madness—
14 and fools multiply words.(C)
No one knows what is coming—
who can tell someone else what will happen after them?(D)
