Proverbs 14:33

New King James Version

Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding, But what is in the heart of fools is made known.

See the chapter Copy

A fool’s wrath is known at once, But a prudent man covers shame.

Even when a fool walks along the way, He lacks wisdom, And he shows everyone that he is a fool.

A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back.

The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.

Every prudent man acts with knowledge, But a fool lays open his folly.

A prudent man conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.

The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.

When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is 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.
