Commentary on Ecclesiastes 10:13

Theological / Devotional

Foolishness. The fool opens his mouth and speaks without thinking of what he says, and so utters nothing but folly (see Prov. 15:2; 17:12; Isa. 32:6).

The end. By the time he finishes speaking the fool has made statements that are nothing but nonsense.
