Ecclesiastes 10:15 in Context — Ecclesiastes 10

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!

17 Bem-aventurada é tu, ó terra, cujo rei é filho de nobres, e cujos príncipes comem no tempo [devido] , para se fortalecerem, e não para se embebedarem!
