12. The words of a wise man’s mouth bring favor,but the speech of a fool consumes him;
13. the beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness,and the end of his talk is evil madness.
14. A fool multiplies words,though no man knows what is to be;who can tell him what will be after him?
15. The labor of the foolish makes him weary,such that he does not know the way to the city!
16. Woe to you, O land, when your king is a lad,and your princes are feasting in the morning!
17. Happy are you, O land, when your king is from nobility,and your princes are feasting at the appropriate time—with self-control and not drunkenness!
