Ecclesiastes 10:15

The Burden Of Folly

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.
