Matthew Poole and continuators on Ecclesiastes 10:14

14 A fool also is full of words : a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him ?

Either 1. Talkative. Or 2. Forward to promise and brag what he will do, which is the common practice of foolish men: he is a man of words, as we use to say.

These words contain either 1. A Mimetical Representation of his folly in using vain Repetitions of the same words, such as these, a man cannot tell, &c. and who can tell, &c. Or 2. A confutation of his folly in promising or boasting of things which are wholly out of his power: For what shall be, no man can either himself foreknow, or learn it from others.
