In the heart of the prudent resteth wisdom, and it shall instruct all the ignorant.
A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.
Yea, and the fool when he walketh in the way, whereas be himself is a fool, esteemeth all men fools.
A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards.
The mind of the just studieth obedience: the mouth of the wicked over floweth with evils.
The prudent man doth all things with counsel: but he that is a fool, layeth open his folly.
A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly.
The tongue of the wise adorneth knowledge: but the mouth of fools bubbleth out folly.
If wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge please thy soul:
The wicked man shall be driven out in his wickedness: but the just hath hope in his death.
Justice exalteth a nation: but sin maketh nations miserable.
