ECCLESIASTES 10:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.”
The observation that the fool begins speaking with madness and ends with evil raving, and that the fool multiplies words despite no one knowing what will happen, presents the fool as trapped in compulsive speech. The words increase in intensity and destructiveness; the fool cannot restrain. This verse portrays folly as losing control through language.
