Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: But that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
A fool's wrath is presently known: But a prudent man covereth shame.
Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
A fool uttereth all his mind: But a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: But a fool layeth open his folly.
A prudent man concealeth knowledge: But the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: But the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, And knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: But the righteous hath hope in his death.
Righteousness exalteth a nation: But sin is a reproach to any people.
