Ecclesiastes 10:13


← Ecclesiastes 10:12 Ecclesiastes 10:13 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 10:14 →
The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
