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