Ecclesiastes 10:11-13

New King James Version

¹¹ A serpent may bite ^(A)when it is not charmed;
The ^[a]babbler is no different.
^12 (B)The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious,
But ^(C)the lips of a fool shall swallow him up;
¹³ The words of his mouth begin with foolishness,
And the end of his talk is raving madness.
