Ecclesiaste 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.

Ecclesiaste 10:13 In-Context

11 Se il serpente morde, non essendo incantato, niente meglio vale il maldicente.
12 Le parole della bocca del savio non sono altro che grazia; ma le labbra dello stolto lo distruggono.
13 Il principio delle parole della sua bocca è stoltizia, ed il fine del suo parlare è mala pazzia.
14 Benchè lo stolto moltiplichi le parole, l’uomo pur non sa ciò che ha da essere; e chi gli dichiarerà ciò che sarà dopo lui?
15 La fatica degli stolti li stanca; perciocchè non sanno la via per andare alla città.
