10:11 If the snake should bite before it is charmed,
the snake charmer is in trouble.
10:12 The words of a wise person win him favor,
but the words of a fool are self-destructive.
10:13 At the beginning his words are foolish
and at the end his talk is wicked madness,
10:14 yet a fool keeps on babbling.
No one knows what will happen;
who can tell him what will happen in the future?
10:15 The toil of a stupid fool wears him out,
because he does not even know the way to the city.
