Ecclesiastes 10:11-15

World English Bible

¹¹ If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue. ¹² The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips. ¹³ The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. ¹⁴ A fool also multiplies words.

Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him? ¹⁵ The labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn’t know how to go to the city.
