ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૧૦:૧૩
તેના મુખના શબ્દોનો આરંભ મૂર્ખાઈ છે, અને તેના બોલવાનું પરિણામ નુકસાનકારક છે.
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक १०:१३
उसकी बात का आरम्भ मूर्खता का, और उनका अन्त दुःखदाई बावलापन होता है।

In context

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?

15The labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn’t know how to go to the city.
