Question

What does this verse teach about our speech? "The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself." (Ecclesiastes 10:12)

The words of a wise man brings him honor, but a fool is destroyed by his own words.

The words of a just man are like gold.

The words you need will be given when you need them.​

Answer 1

The words of a wise man brings him honor, but a fool is destroyed by his own words.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the third choice is already used in the previous question on about how God Himself will give the words during testimony. And while the second choice seems convincing, this verse also implies some aspects of a fool's words, which are only included in the first answer. So this leaves only one choice, The words of a wise man bring him honor, and a fool is destroyed by his own words.
