11If a serpent bite when there is no charmer’s whisper, Then there is no advantage to the charmer.
12The words of a wise mouth are gracious: But the lips of a fool will swallow him up.
13The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly: And the end of his talk mischievous madness.
14A fool moreover multiplies words: Man knows not what has been, nor what will be: Who shall tell him what will come after him?
15The labor of fools will afflict them, As that of one who knows not to go to the city.
16Woe to thee, O city, whose king is young, And thy princes eat in the morning!
17Blessed art thou, O land, whose king is a son of nobles, And whose princes shall eat seasonably, for strength, And shall not be ashamed.
18By slothful neglect a building will be brought low: And by idleness of the hands the house will fall to pieces.
19Men prepare bread for laughter, And wine and oil that the living should rejoice: But to money all things will humbly yield obedience.
