Ecclesiastes 10:14

Context

10:14 yet a fool keeps on babbling. 1 

No one knows what will happen;

who can tell him what will happen in the future? 2 

1 tn Heb “and the fool multiplies words.” This line is best taken as the third line of a tricola encompassing 10:13-14a (NASB, NRSV, NJPS, Moffatt) rather than the first line of a tricola encompassing 10:14 (KJV, NEB, RSV, NAB, ASV, NIV). Several versions capture the sense of this line well: “a fool prates on and on” (Moffatt) and “Yet the fool talks and talks!” (NJPS).

2 tn Heb “after him”; or “after he [dies].”
