ECCLESIASTES 10:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?”
The statement that the fool multiplies words without knowing what will be, and that no one can tell anyone what will happen after them, suggests that the fool's endless speech attempts to fill the void of uncertainty about the future. The multiplication of words represents a futile response to human ignorance and finitude. This verse implies that accepting ignorance represents wisdom, while the fool attempts to talk around it.
