Thematic Bible: The mouth of a fool


Thematic Bible



A fool's lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth 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 the foolish is a present destruction.

The legs of the lame 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 up himself. The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. A fool also multiplieth words: yet man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?
