3 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “beginning” →
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
