Ecclesiastes 10:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version

11 If the snake bites before it is charmed, there is no advantage to having a charmer.[a]

12 Words from a wise man’s mouth bring favor, but a fool’s lips swallow him up.

13 The fool starts out by saying stupid things, but he ends up speaking wicked madness.
