A fool brings out all of his spirit, but holding back, the wise ones quiet it.
The anger of a foolish one is known in a day, but the prudent one covers shame.
A prudent man conceals knowledge, but the heart of fools calls out their folly.
Wisdom rests in the heart of one understanding, but amidst fools the lack of it is made known.
The discretion of a man makes his anger long, and his glory is to pass over a transgression.
So he acting wisely shall keep silent in that time, for it is an evil time.
Put no faith in a companion; put no trust in a friend; guard the opening of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom;
that he told her all his heart, and said to her, No razor has come on my head, for I am a Nazarite to God from my mother’s womb. If I were shaved, my strength would go away from me, and I would be weak, and be like any one of men.
