Ecclesiastes 10:12-17 New Living Translation (NLT)

12. Wise words bring approval,but fools are destroyed by their own words.

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 workthat 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.

17. Happy is the land whose king is a noble leaderand whose leaders feast at the proper timeto gain strength for their work, not to get drunk.
