Ecclesiastes 10:12-15

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹² The words from the mouth of a wise person are gracious,^(A)
but the lips of a fool consume him.^(B)
13 The beginning of the words from 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)
15 The struggles of fools weary them,
for they don’t know how to go to the city.
