Proverbs 14:33

New Century Version

Wisdom lives in those with understanding, and even fools recognize it.

See the chapter Copy

Fools quickly show that they are upset, but the wise ignore insults.

Wise people keep what they know to themselves, but fools can’t keep from showing how foolish they are.

Every wise person acts with good sense, but fools show how foolish they are.

The wicked are ruined by their own evil, but those who do right are protected even in death.

Doing what is right makes a nation great, but sin will bring disgrace to any people.

Wise people use knowledge when they speak, but fools pour out foolishness.

Good people think before they answer, but the wicked simply pour out evil.

Wisdom will come into your mind, and knowledge will be pleasing to you.

Foolish people lose their tempers, but wise people control theirs.

Even in the way fools walk along the road, they show they are not wise; they show everyone how stupid they are.
