Ecclesiastes 10:13-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
13
the beginning of his talking is foolishness, and the end of it is evil insanity.
14
Yet the fool multiplies words. No person knows what will happen, and who can tell him what will come after him?
15
The labor of a fool makes him
so
weary that he does not
even
know how to go to a city.
16
Woe to you, land whose king is a boy, and whose princes feast in the morning.
King James Version
Chapter 10
13
The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
14
A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
15
The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because 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!
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 10
13
The beginning of the words from his mouth is folly,
but the end of his speaking is evil madness;
14
yet the fool multiplies words.
No one knows what will happen,
and who can tell anyone what will happen after him?
15
The struggles of fools weary them,
for they don’t know how to go to the city.
16
Woe to you, land, when your king is a youth
and your princes feast in the morning.
New Living Translation
Chapter 10
13
Fools base their thoughts on foolish assumptions,
so their conclusions will be wicked madness;
14
they chatter on and on.
No one really knows what is going to happen;
no one can predict the future.
15
Fools are so exhausted by a little work
that they can’t even find their way home.
16
What sorrow for the land ruled by a servant,
the land whose leaders feast in the morning.
English Standard Version
Chapter 10
13
The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness,
and the end of his talk is evil madness.
14
A fool multiplies words,
though no man knows what is to be,
and who can tell him what will be after him?
15
The toil of a fool wearies him,
for he does not know the way to the city.
16
Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child,
and your princes feast in the morning!
New International Version
Chapter 10
13
At the beginning their words are folly;
at the end they are wicked madness—
14
and fools multiply words. No one knows what is coming—
who can tell someone else what will happen after them?
15
The toil of fools wearies them;
they do not know the way to town.
16
Woe to the land whose king was a servant
and whose princes feast in the morning.
New King James Version
Chapter 10
13
The words of his mouth begin with foolishness,
And the end of his talk
is
raving madness.
14
A fool also multiplies words.
No man knows what is to be;
Who can tell him what will be after him?
15
The labor of fools wearies them,
For they do not even know how to go to the city!
16
Woe to you, O land, when your king
is
a child,
And your princes feast in the morning!
