Wisdomrestsin the heartof one who hasunderstanding,But in the heartsof foolsit is madeknown.
A fool'sangeris knownat once,But a prudentmanconcealsdishonor.
A prudentmanconcealsknowledge,But the heartof foolsproclaimsfolly.
Everyprudentmanactswith knowledge,But a fooldisplaysfolly.
The wickedis thrustdownby his wrongdoing,But the righteoushasa refugewhen he dies.
Righteousnessexaltsa nation,But sinis a disgraceto [any] people.
The tongueof the wisemakesknowledgeacceptable,But the mouthof foolsspoutsfolly.
The heartof the righteouspondershow to answer,But the mouthof the wickedpoursout evilthings.
For wisdomwill enteryour heartAnd knowledgewill be pleasantto your soul;
A foolalways loseshis temper,But a wisemanholdsit back.
Evenwhenthe foolwalksalong the road,his senseis lackingand he demonstratesto everyone[that] he is a fool.
