Ecclesiastes 10:14

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"A fool also multiplieth words: [yet] man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?" — Ecclesiastes 10:14 (ASV)

Full of words - Confident talking of the future is indicated rather than mere loquacity. Compare James 4:13.
