Ecclesiastes 10:14 in Context — Ecclesiastes 10
12 As palavras da boca do sábio são agradáveis; porém os lábios do tolo o devoram.
13 O princípio das palavras de sua boca é tolice; e o fim de sua boca [é] uma loucura ruim.
14 O tolo multiplica as palavras, [porém] ninguém sabe o que virá no futuro; e quem lhe fará saber o que será depois dele?
15 O trabalho dos tolos lhes traz cansaço, porque não sabem ir à cidade.
16 Ai de ti, ó terra cujo rei é um menino, e cujos príncipes comem pela madrugada!
