Ecclesiastes 10:2

New Century Version

The heart of the wise leads to right, but the heart of a fool leads to wrong.

See the chapter Copy

A fool talks too much. No one knows the future, and no one can tell what will happen after death.

A dull ax means harder work. Being wise will make it easier.

It won’t do a fool any good to try to buy wisdom, because he doesn’t have the ability to be wise.

A wise person will understand what to do, but a foolish person is dishonest.

Whatever work you do, do your best, because you are going to the grave, where there is no working, no planning, no knowledge, and no wisdom.

Seek first God’s kingdom and what God wants. Then all your other needs will be met as well.

The Son of Man will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

Since you were raised from the dead with Christ, aim at what is in heaven, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.

Wise people use their words to spread knowledge, but there is no knowledge in the thoughts of fools.
