Ecclesiastes 10:11-15
11If the serpent bites 12before being charmed, there is no profit for the charmer.
123Words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious, while the lips of a 4fool consume him;
13the beginning of 5his talking is folly and the end of 6it is wicked 7madness.
14Yet the 8fool multiplies words. No man knows what will happen, and who can tell him 9what will come after him?
15The toil of 10a fool so wearies him that he does not even know how to go to a city.
