Ecclesiastes 10:13-15
English Standard Version
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness,
and the end of his talk is evil madness.
14 (A)A fool multiplies words,
though no man knows what is to be,
and who can tell him (B)what will be after him?
15 The toil of a fool wearies him,
for he does not know (C)the way to the city.

Ecclesiastes 10:13-15
New International Version
13 At the beginning their words are folly;
at the end they are wicked madness—
14 and fools multiply words.(A)
No one knows what is coming—
who can tell someone else what will happen after them?(B)
15 The toil of fools wearies them;
they do not know the way to town.

Ecclesiastes 10:13-15
King James Version
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
15 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
