10:11 If the snake should bite before it is charmed, 1
the snake charmer 2 is in trouble. 3
10:12 The words of a wise person 4 win him 5 favor, 6
but the words 7 of a fool are self-destructive. 8
10:13 At the beginning his words 9 are foolish
and at the end 10 his talk 11 is wicked madness, 12
10:14 yet a fool keeps on babbling. 13
No one knows what will happen;
who can tell him what will happen in the future? 14
