The Consequences of Foolishness
The Consequences of Foolishness
- 12 wins favor by the words of his mouth, but the fool is devoured by his own lips.
- 13 and ends by uttering what is wicked delusion.
- 14 [fn] for no one knows what will be.
- Who can tell anyone what will happen[fn]
- 15 [fn]
- 16 and your princes feast in the morning.
- 17 and your princes feast at the proper time—
- to gain strength and not to get drunk.
- 18 and through idleness of hands the house leaks.
- 19 [fn] wine cheers the living,
- and money answers everything.
- 20 and do not curse the rich even in your own bedroom,
- for a bird of the sky may carry your voice;
- a winged messenger may repeat your words.
