ગુજરાતી — સભાશિક્ષક ૧૦:૧૨: જ્ઞાની માણસનાં શબ્દો માયાળુ છે પણ મૂર્ખના બોલ તેનો પોતાનો જ નાશ આમંત્રે છે.
हिन्दी — सभोपदेशक १०:१२: बुद्धिमान के वचनों के कारण अनुग्रह होता है, परन्तु मूर्ख अपने वचनों के द्वारा नाश होते हैं।

10If the ax is blunt, and one doesn’t sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.

11If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue.

12The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.

13The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

14A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?
