Ecclesiastes 10:15 in Context — Ecclesiastes 10

13 El principio de las palabras de su boca es necedad; y el fin de su charla nocivo desvarío.

14 El necio multiplica palabras: no sabe hombre lo que ha de ser; ¿y quién le hará saber lo que después de él será?

15 El trabajo de los necios los fatiga; porque no saben por dónde ir á la ciudad.

16 ¡Ay de ti, tierra, cuando tu rey es muchacho, y tus príncipes comen de mañana!

17 ¡Bienaventurada, tú, tierra, cuando tu rey es hijo de nobles, y tus príncipes comen á su hora, por refección, y no por el beber!
