Ecclesiastes 9:17

American Standard Version 2015

The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

See the chapter Copy

He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor\par\tab Than he that flattereth with the tongue.

for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.

He will not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.\par

It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.

And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.\par
