12 Words of the mouth of the wise 'are' gracious, And the lips of a fool swallow him up.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth 'is' folly, And the latter end of his mouth 'Is' mischievous madness.
14 And the fool multiplieth words: 'Man knoweth not that which is, And that which is after him, who doth declare to him?'
15 The labour of the foolish wearieth him, In that he hath not known to go unto the city.
16 Wo to thee, O land, when thy king 'is' a youth, And thy princes do eat in the morning.
