Ecclesiastes 10:12-14
New Life Version
12 The words of a wise man’s mouth are kind, but the lips of a fool destroy him. 13 The beginning of his talking is foolish, and the end of it is sinful and crazy. 14 Yet the fool speaks many words. No man knows what will happen. And who can tell him what will come after him?

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)
