Verse 13 is found in chapter 10 of Ecclesiastes. The words of the wise bring grace, while the words of the fool ultimately destroy him. The fool speaks much about matters he does not understand and exhausts himself trying to explain what he does not know. The section also observes the effects of laziness among rulers and the importance of money in social life. Even within an apparently disordered context, words and decisions continue to produce concrete consequences.
