Ecclesiastes 10:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ A fool talks at great length,
    but no one knows what direction his words will take,
    and who can foretell what the future holds?
¹⁵ A fool quickly gets worn out by his labor,
    and he cannot even find his own way into town.^[a]
16 Woe to you, O country, when your king is a servant
    and your princes start feasting in the morning.
