Ecclesiastes 10:3

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.

For where much carefulness is, there are many dreams: and where many words are, there men may hear fools.

A wise man doth all things with discretion; but a fool will declare his folly.

A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only in those things wherein his heart rejoiceth.

And it seemeth to them a strange thing that ye run not also with them unto the same excess of riot, and therefore speak they evil of you,

But he forsook the counsel that the old men had given him, and counselled with the young men that were nourished up with him and had waited on him.

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; and he will teach them that are unlearned.

Yea, a very fool, when he holdeth his tongue, is counted wise; and to have understanding, when he shutteth his lips.
