Ecclesiastes 10:12-15
121WordsH1697 from the mouthH6310 of a wiseH2450 personH2450 are graciousH2580, while the lipsH8193 of a 2foolH3684 consumeH1104 him;
13the beginningH8462 of 3his talkingH1697H6310 is foolishnessH5531, and the endH319 of 4it is evilH7463 5insanityH1948.
14Yet the 6foolH5530 multipliesH7235 wordsH1697. NoH3808 personH120 knowsH3045 whatH4100 will happenH1961, and whoH4310 can tellH5046 him 7whatH834 will comeH1961 afterH4480H310 him?
15The laborH5999 of 8a foolH3684 makes him so wearyH3021 that he does not even knowH3045 how to goH1980 to a cityH5892.
