His Talk

Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

• Craftiness

And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
