13 At the beginning their words are folly;

at the end they are wicked madness—

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

13 Fools base their thoughts on foolish assumptions,

so their conclusions will be wicked madness;

13 The words of his mouth begin with foolishness,

And the end of his talk is raving madness.

13 A fool begins by saying foolish things

and ends by saying crazy and wicked things.

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

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

13 A fool starts out by talking foolishness and ends up saying crazy things that are dangerous.

13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly,

but the end of his speaking is evil madness.

13 The words of their mouths begin in foolishness,

and their talk ends in wicked madness;

13 He begins by saying what is foolish

and ends by uttering what is wicked delusion.

13 At first what he says is foolish.

In the end his words are very evil.

13 the beginning of his talking is folly and the end of it is wicked madness.
