A fool’s wrath is known at once, But a clever one covers shame.
A fool's wrath is presently known: But a prudent man covereth shame.
A fool's wrath is quickly and openly known, but a prudent man ignores an insult.
A fool’s vexation is presently known; But a prudent man concealeth shame.
Fools reveal their anger right away, but the shrewd hide their contempt.
The senseless immediately reveals his anger. But whoever ignores injuries is clever.
A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.
For wrath kills the fool, and envy slays the simple.
Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions.
He who speaks truth declares righteousness, But a false witness, deceit.
Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding, And even among fools it becomes known.
Understanding is a fountain of life to him who has it, But the disciplining of fools is folly.
He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates intimate friends.
A man who has no control over his spirit Is like a broken-down city without a wall.
A stone is heavy and sand is weighty, But a fool’s wrath is heavier than both.
A fool lets out all his breath, But the wise keeping it back calms it down.
So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath,
