The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
Foolish speech begins in foolishness and grows worse as it continues, ending in harmful and senseless madness. It does not remain idle or harmless but increases in folly the longer the talk goes on. The tattler is warned against as one who seeks out information for the purpose of spreading it as gossip. Such gossip-mongering is the trade of carrying tales from mouth to mouth to the injury of others.
