Ecclesiastes 10:13

Context

10:13 At the beginning his words 1  are foolish

and at the end 2  his talk 3  is wicked madness, 4 

1 tn Heb “the words of his mouth.”

2 sn The terms “beginning” and “end” form a merism, a figure of speech in which two opposites are contrasted to indicate totality (e.g., Deut 6:7; Ps 139:8; Eccl 3:2-8). The words of a fool are madness from “start to finish.”

3 tn Heb “his mouth.”

4 tn Heb “madness of evil.”
