Ecclesiastes 10:12-14

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² The words of a wise man’s mouth win him favor,
    but the lips of a fool consume him.
¹³ The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness,
    and the end of his talk is wicked madness.
¹⁴ A fool multiplies words,
    though no man knows what is to be,
    and who can tell him what will be after him?
