Kohelet 10:12-14
Orthodox Jewish Bible
12 The words of a chacham’s mouth are chen (gracious); but the lips of a kesil will swallow up himself.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is sichlut; and the end of his talk is holelot ra’ah.
14 A kesil also is full of devarim; haAdam has no da’as of what shall be, and what shall be after him, who can tell 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)
