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)
Ecclesiastes 10:12-14
New International Version
12 Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious,(A)
but fools are consumed by their own lips.(B)
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)
