Gill's Notes on the Bible
A fool also is full of words,.... Or, "multiplies words" y. Is very talkative, says the same thing over and over again; uses an abundance of waste words, that have no meaning in them; utters every thing that comes uppermost, without any order or judgment; affects to talk on every subject, whether he knows anything of it or not; and will engross all the conversation to himself, though of all in company the most unfit for it;
a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him who can tell him? what the fool is talking of; what is the drift of his discourse; or where it will end, and what he will bring it to, it is so noisy, confused, and incoherent: or no man can tell future things, or what will come to pass; nor can any man inform another of future events; and yet a fool boasts and brags of what he shall do, and what he shall have, as if he was master of the future, and knew for certain what would come to pass, which the wisest of men do not.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Full of words - Confident talking of the future is indicated rather than mere loquacity. Compare James 4:13.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 14. A man cannot tell what shall be — A foolish babbling man will talk on every subject, though he can say as little on the past, as he can on the future.
