15A fool's work wearies him; he does not know the way to town.


In Context

12 Words from a wise man's mouth are gracious, but a fool is consumed by his own lips.

13 At the beginning his words are folly; at the end they are wicked madness-

14 and the fool multiplies words. No one knows what is coming- who can tell him what will happen after him?

15 A fool's work wearies him; he does not know the way to town.

16 Woe to you, O land whose king was a servant and whose princes feast in the morning.

17 Blessed are you, O land whose king is of noble birth and whose princes eat at a proper time- for strength and not for drunkenness.
