Ecclesiastes 10:11-13

World English Bible

¹¹ If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue. ¹² The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips. ¹³ The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
