Ecclesiastes 10:13-16 American Standard Version (ASV)

13. The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

14. A fool also multiplieth words: yet man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?

15. The labor of fools wearieth every one of them; for he knoweth not how to go to the city.

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