Proverbs 14:33

English Standard Version 2016

Wisdom rests in the heart of a man of understanding, but it makes itself known even in the midst of fools.

See the chapter Copy

The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.

Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.

A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.

The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

Every prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts his folly.

A prudent man conceals knowledge, but the heart of fools proclaims folly.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly.

for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;

The wicked is overthrown through his evildoing, but the righteous finds refuge in his death.

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.
