Ecclesiastes 10:11-15
11IfH518 the serpentH5175 bitesH5391 12before being charmedH3908, thereH369 isH369 noH369 benefitH3504 for the charmerH1167H3956.
123WordsH1697 from the mouthH6310 of a wiseH2450 personH2450 are graciousH2580, while the lipsH8193 of a 4foolH3684 consumeH1104 him;
13the beginningH8462 of 5his talkingH1697H6310 is foolishnessH5531, and the endH319 of 6it is evilH7463 7insanityH1948.
14Yet the 8foolH5530 multipliesH7235 wordsH1697. NoH3808 personH120 knowsH3045 whatH4100 will happenH1961, and whoH4310 can tellH5046 him 9whatH834 will comeH1961 afterH4480H310 him?
15The laborH5999 of 10a foolH3684 makes him so wearyH3021 that he does not even knowH3045 how to goH1980 to a cityH5892.
