Ecclesiastes 10:11-15

11Someone may have power over dangerous snakes. But that will not help him if the snake bites him first.

12People respect a wise person, because of the things that he says. But the words of a fool will destroy him.

13When a fool starts to speak, he says silly things. When he finishes, he is saying crazy things that are wicked.

14But he never stops talking. Nobody knows what will happen in the future. Nobody can tell us what will happen after we die.

15When a fool does any work, he quickly becomes tired. He is so tired that he forgets the way to town.
