Ecclesiastes 10:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ A fool multiplieth words. A man cannot tell what hath been before him: and what shall be after him, who can tell him?

¹⁵ The labour of fools shall afflict them that know not bow to go to the city.

¹⁶ Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and when the princes eat in the morning.
