Ecclesiastes 10:12-18

¹²The words of the mouth of a wise man are grace: but the lips of a fool shall throw him down headlong.

¹³The beginning of his words is folly, and the end of his talk is a mischievous error.

¹⁴A fool multiplieth words. A man cannot tell what hath been before him: and what shall be after him, who can tell him?

¹⁵The labour of fools shall afflict them that know not bow to go to the city.

¹⁶Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and when the princes eat in the morning.

¹⁷Blessed is the land, whose king is noble, and whose princes eat in due season for refreshment, and not for riotousness.

¹⁸By slothfulness a building shall be brought down, and through the weakness of hands, the house shall drop through.
