Ecclesiastes 10:12-14
New International Reader's Version
12 Wise people say gracious things.
But foolish people are destroyed by what their own lips speak.
13 At first what they say is foolish.
In the end their words are very evil.
14 They talk too much.
No one knows what lies ahead.
Who can tell someone else what will happen after they are gone?

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)
