Ecclesiastes 10:11-14

11 If a snake bites before it is charmed,
there is no profit for the charmer.

12 Words from a wise man’s mouth are gracious,
but a fool is consumed by his own lips.

13 At the beginning his words are folly;
at the end they are wicked madness—

14 and the fool multiplies words.
No one knows what is coming—
who can tell him what will happen after him?
