Eclesiastes 10:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ecclesiastes 10:13

The beginning of the words of his mouth [is] foolishness
As soon as ever he opens his mouth, he betrays his folly; the first word he speaks is a foolish one; or it is from the abundant folly in his heart that he speaks, which is the source and spring of all his foolish talk; and the end of his talk [is] mischievous madness;
to himself and others; as he goes on, he appears more and more foolish, and yet more confident of his own wisdom; and is resolutely set on having his own way and will; grows warm, and is violently hot, to have his own words regarded; and, if contradicted, is like a madman, scattering arrows, firebrands, and death; his talk from first to last is a circle of folly; and, though it begins with something weak, and may seem innocent, yet it ends and issues in wickedness and madness, in rage and wrath, in oaths and curses.

Eclesiastes 10:13 In-Context

11 Se a cobra morder antes de estar encantada, não há vantagem no encantador.

12 As palavras da boca do sábio são cheias de graça, mas os lábios do tolo o devoram.

13 O princípio das palavras da sua boca é estultícia, e o fim do seu discurso é loucura perversa.

14 O tolo multiplica as palavras, todavia nenhum homem sabe o que há de ser; e quem lhe poderá declarar o que será depois dele?

15 O trabalho do tolo o fatiga, de sorte que não sabe ir � cidade.
