Thematic Bible: The mouth of a fool


Thematic Bible



A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calls for stripes. A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.




Wise men lay up knowledge, but the mouth of a foolish man is a present destruction.

The legs of a lame man hang loose. So is a parable in the mouth of fools.


The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool will swallow himself up. The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. A fool also multiplies words; [yet] man knows not what shall be, and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?
