Ecclesiastes 10:15 in context

  1. 13The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
  2. 14A fool also multiplies words.
    Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?
  3. 15The labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn’t know how to go to the city.
  4. 16Woe to you, land, when your king is a child,
    and your princes eat in the morning!
  5. 17Happy are you, land, when your king is the son of nobles,
    and your princes eat in due season,
    for strength, and not for drunkenness!
