Ecclesiastes 10:14
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Yet the fool multiplies words. No one knows what is coming, and who can tell him what will come after him?
In context
12 The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool consume him.
13 The beginning of his talk is folly, and the end of his speech is evil madness.
14 Yet the fool multiplies words. No one knows what is coming, and who can tell him what will come after him?
15 The toil of a fool wearies him, for he does not know the way to the city.
16 Woe to you, O land whose king is a youth, and whose princes feast in the morning.
