'Beginning' in the Bible

He hath made everything beautiful in its time: also he hath set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
