Ecclesiastes 10:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ A fool talks on and on.

No one knows what is going to happen next, and no one can tell us what will happen after we die.

¹⁵ Only someone too stupid to find his way home would wear himself out with work.

¹⁶ A country is in trouble when its king is a youth and its leaders feast all night long.
