Viewing verse 14 of Ecclesiastes 10 (with context)
Read Full Chapter Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.*
The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.*
The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.*
A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?*
The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
¶ Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
