¹⁴ A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?

² The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

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

³ For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

¹² For who knoweth what is good for man in this 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 when 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 vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

¹⁹ In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

¹³ Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:

¹⁴ Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
