NASB
"Words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious, while the lips of a fool consume him;"
— Ecclesiastes 10:12, NASB
“The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.”
“The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. ”
“The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.”
“Words and Works of Wise Men and Fools The words of a wise person win him favor, but the words of a fool are self-destructive.”
“The words of the mouth of a wise man are grace: but the lips of a fool shall throw him down headlong.”
“The words of a wise man's mouth are sweet to all, but the lips of a foolish man are his destruction.”
“The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.”
He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, and he who splits logs may be endangered by them.
If the axe is dull and he does not sharpen its edge, then he must exert more strength. Wisdom has the advantage of giving success.
If the serpent bites before being charmed, there is no profit for the charmer.
Words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious, while the lips of a fool consume him;
the beginning of his talking is folly and the end of it is wicked madness.
Yet the fool multiplies words. No man knows what will happen, and who can tell him what will come after him?
The toil of a fool so wearies him that he does not even know how to go to a city.
