Ecclesiastes 10:13
King James Version
“The beginning of the words of his mouth foolishness: and the end of his talk mischievous madness.”
Context
10If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom profitable to direct.
11Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
12The words of a wise man’s mouth gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
13The beginning of the words of his mouth foolishness: and the end of his talk mischievous madness.
14A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
15The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
16Woe to thee, O land, when thy king a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
