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.
