Proverbs 14:33

Catholic Public Domain Version

In the heart of the prudent, wisdom finds rest. And so shall he instruct all the uneducated.

See the chapter Copy

The senseless immediately reveals his anger. But whoever ignores injuries is clever.

A resourceful man conceals knowledge. And the heart of the unwise provokes foolishness.

The discerning do everything with counsel. But whoever is senseless discloses his stupidity.

The impious will be expelled in his malice. But the just finds hope even in his own death.

Justice elevates a nation. But sin makes the peoples miserable.

The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge. But the mouth of the senseless gushes with foolishness.

The mind of the just meditates on obedience. The mouth of the impious overflows with evils.

If wisdom is to enter into your heart, and if knowledge is to become pleasing to your soul,

A foolish one offers everything on his mind. A wise one reserves and defers until later.

Moreover, as a foolish man is walking along the way, even though he himself is unwise, he considers everyone to be foolish.
