Proverbs 12:16

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.

See the chapter Copy

A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards.

You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger.

Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins.

He that concealeth a transgression, seeketh friendships: he that repeateth it again, separateth friends.

As a city that lieth open and is not compassed with walls, so is a man that cannot refrain his own spirit in speaking.

Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesseth it: the instruction of fools is foolishness.

In the heart of the prudent resteth wisdom, and it shall instruct all the ignorant.

Anger indeed killeth the foolish: and envy slayeth the little one.

He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.

A stone is heavy, and sand weighty: but the anger of a fool is heavier than them both.
