¹⁴ A fool also multiplieth words: `yet' man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?

² The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly.

²² Wherefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him `back' to see what shall be after him?

³ For a dream cometh with a multitude of business, and a fool's voice with a multitude of words.

¹² For who knoweth what is good for man in `his' life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

⁷ for he knoweth not that which shall be; for who can tell him how it shall be?

³⁷ For he addeth rebellion unto his sin; He clappeth his hands among us, And multiplieth his words against God.

¹⁶ Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; He multiplieth words without knowledge.

¹⁹ In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

¹³ Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain:

¹⁴ whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
