Proverbs 29:20

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.

See the chapter Copy

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

Hast thou seen a man wise in his own conceit? there shall be more hope of a fool than of him.

He that is patient, is governed with much wisdom: but he that is impatient, exalteth his folly.

Dreams follow many cares: and in many words shall be found folly.

The thoughts of the industrious always bring forth abundance: but every sluggard is always in want.

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

Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.

A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.

He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.
