Ecclesiastes 10:12-20

The words
<01697>
of a wise man's
<02450>
mouth
<06310>
[are] gracious
<02580>_;
but the lips
<08193>
of a fool
<03684>
will swallow up
<01104> (8762)
himself. {gracious: Heb. grace}
The beginning
<08462>
of the words
<01697>
of his mouth
<06310>
[is] foolishness
<05531>_:
and the end
<0319>
of his talk
<06310>
[is] mischievous
<07451>
madness
<01948>_.
{his talk: Heb. his mouth}
A fool
<05530>
also is full
<07235> (8686)
of words
<01697>_:
a man
<0120>
cannot tell
<03045> (8799)
what shall be; and what shall be after
<0310>
him, who can tell
<05046> (8686)
him? {is full...: Heb. multiplieth words}
The labour
<05999>
of the foolish
<03684>
wearieth
<03021> (8762)
every one of them, because he knoweth
<03045> (8804)
not how to go
<03212> (8800)
to the city
<05892>_.
Woe
<0337>
to thee, O land
<0776>_,
when thy king
<04428>
[is] a child
<05288>_,
and thy princes
<08269>
eat
<0398> (8799)
in the morning
<01242>_!
Blessed
<0835>
[art] thou, O land
<0776>_,
when thy king
<04428>
[is] the son
<01121>
of nobles
<02715>_,
and thy princes
<08269>
eat
<0398> (8799)
in due season
<06256>_,
for strength
<01369>_,
and not for drunkenness
<08358>_!
By much slothfulness
<06103>
the building
<04746>
decayeth
<04355> (8735)_;
and through idleness
<08220>
of the hands
<03027>
the house
<01004>
droppeth through
<01811> (8799)_.
A feast
<03899>
is made
<06213> (8802)
for laughter
<07814>_,
and wine
<03196>
maketh merry
<08055> (8762) <02416>_:
but money
<03701>
answereth
<06030> (8799)
all [things]. {maketh...: Heb. maketh glad the life}
Curse
<07043> (8762)
not the king
<04428>_,
no not in thy thought
<04093>_;
and curse
<07043> (8762)
not the rich
<06223>
in thy bedchamber
<02315> <04904>_:
for a bird
<05775>
of the air
<08064>
shall carry
<03212> (8686)
the voice
<06963>_,
and that which hath
<01167>
wings
<03671>
shall tell
<05046> (8686)
the matter
<01697>_.
