At the beginning his words are foolish and at the end his talk is wicked madness,

All of man’s labor is for nothing more than to fill his stomach – yet his appetite is never satisfied!

Obey the king’s command, because you took an oath before God to be loyal to him.

The words of a wise person win him favor, but the words of a fool are self-destructive.

Do not be rash with your mouth or hasty in your heart to bring up a matter before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth! Therefore, let your words be few.

Do not let your mouth cause you to sin, and do not tell the priest, “It was a mistake!” Why make God angry at you so that he would destroy the work of your hands?”
