7 The mouths of fools are their undoing,

and their lips are a snare to their very lives.

7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.

7 The mouths of fools are their ruin;

they trap themselves with their lips.

7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction,

And his lips are the snare of his soul.

7 The words of fools will ruin them;

their own words will trap them.

7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction,

And his lips are the snare of his soul.

7 A fool’s mouth is destruction to him, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

7 A fool’s mouth is his ruin. 

His lips are a trap to his soul. 

7 A fool’s mouth is his devastation,

and his lips are a trap for his life.

7 The mouths of fools are their ruin,

and their lips a snare to themselves.

7 The mouth of a fool is ruin to him,

and his lips are a snare to his soul.

7 The words of a foolish person drag him down.

He is trapped by what he says.

7 A fool’s mouth is his ruin,

And his lips are the snare of his soul.
