Proverbs 14:33

Modern English Version

In the heart of the discerning wisdom reposes, and in the midst of fools it is made known.

See the chapter Copy

A fool’s anger is shown at once, but a prudent man ignores an insult.

Even when a fool walks along the road, his heart lacks sense, and he shows everyone that he is a fool.

A fool utters all his anger, but a wise man restrains it.

The heart of the righteous reflects on how to reply, but the mouth of the wicked spews out evil.

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

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

The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright, but the mouth of fools pours out folly.

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

The wicked is banished in his wickedness, but the righteous has a refuge in his death.

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