12 Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious,
but fools are consumed by their own lips.
13 At the beginning their words are folly;
at the end they are wicked madness—
14 and fools multiply words.
but fools are consumed by their own lips.
13 At the beginning their words are folly;
at the end they are wicked madness—
14 and fools multiply words.
No one knows what is coming—
who can tell someone else what will happen after them?
who can tell someone else what will happen after them?

傳道者在這裡告訴我們:能夠有智慧的運用話語是很重要的,會讓自己在上帝和人面前得著恩惠。愚昧的人因為自以為是,沒有善用話語,甚至任意狂妄的說話,為自己帶來災禍!
這更告訴我們,不要隨意在人面前喋喋不休說話,只顧表現自己,沒有去顧及別人的感受。這是非常危險的事,因為這樣做,很容易得罪別人而不知道,導致自己的人際關係很糟糕,沒有人願意來建立友誼關係,以致沒有朋友,這是非常可憐的狀態啊!
更重要的是,我們要在聖靈的引導下確實彼此相愛、互相扶持,讓大家真的在基督裡彼此建立自己,在聖靈的引導下,使基督的身體——教會,時時在在的得以建立,讓上帝智慧的話語來成就我們,讓救恩實現出來。
