The wise of heart will receive commands: and the foolish of lips shall fall.
Cause me to understand and I will guard thy instructions; and I will watch it with all the heart.
The wise one will hear and he will add learning: and he understanding, shall obtain guidance:
He pinching the eye shall give pain: and the foolish of lips shall fall.
The wise shall hide knowledge: and the mouth of the foolish drew near destruction.
He loving instruction loved knowledge: and he hating reproof, is stupid.
In the transgression of the lips is the snare of evil: and the just one shall come forth out of straits.
He guarding his mouth, watched his soul: he opening wide his lips, destruction to him.
In all labor will be profit: and the word of the lips only to want
The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: and the folly of the foolish is deceit
Thou shalt not reprove him mocking, lest he shall hate thee: reprove to the wise one and he will love thee.
Thou shalt give to the wise one and he will be more wise: make known to the just one and he will add receiving.
The words of the wise one's mouth, grace; and the lips of the foolish one shall swallow him down.
Who wise and knowing among you? let him show out of a good mode of life his works in meekness of wisdom.
