The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.

Verse 15 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.

Die Arbeit der Narren wird ihnen sauer, weil sie nicht wissen in die Stadt zu gehen.
El trabajo de los necios los fatiga; porque no saben por dónde ir a la ciudad.
El trabajo de los necios los agota, pues no saben ir a la ciudad.
Le travail de l'insensé le fatigue, parce qu'il ne sait pas aller à la ville.
La fatica degli stolti li stanca; perciocchè non sanno la via per andare alla città
O trabalho dos tolos a cada um deles fatiga, porque não sabem como ir à cidade.
愚昧人的勞碌使自己困乏, 連進城的路他也不知道。
