“The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.”
“The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. ”
“The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.”
“At the beginning his words are foolish and at the end his talk is wicked madness,”
“The beginning of his words is folly, and the end of his talk is a mischievous error.”
“The first words of his mouth are foolish, and the end of his talk is evil crime.”
“The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.”
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.
Woe to you, O land, whose king is a lad and whose princes feast in the morning.
