Eclesiastés 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.

11 Si la serpiente muerde antes de ser encantada, no hay ganancia para el encantador.

12 Llenas de gracia son las palabras de la boca del sabio, mientras que los labios del necio a él consumen.

13 El comienzo de las palabras de su boca es insensatez, y el final de su habla perversa locura.

14 El necio multiplica las palabras, pero nadie sabe lo que sucederá, ¿y quién le hará saber lo que ha de suceder después de él?

15 El trabajo del necio lo cansa tanto que no sabe ir a la ciudad.
