Ecclesiastes 9:17

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

The words of the wise are heard in silence, more than the cry of a prince among fools.

See the chapter Copy

He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him.

For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.

He shall not cry, nor have respect to person: neither shall his voice be heard abroad.

He shall not be sad nor troublesome till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law.

The heart of the wise is where there is mourning, and the heart of fools where there is mirth.

The words of the mouth of a wise man are grace: but the lips of a fool shall throw him down headlong.
