Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: But that which is in the inward part of fools is made known.
A fool's vexation is presently known: But a prudent man concealeth shame.
A prudent man concealeth knowledge: But the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
Every prudent man worketh with knowledge: But a fool spreadeth out folly.
The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing: But the righteous hath hope in his death.
Righteousness exalteth a nation: But sin is a reproach to any people.
The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright: But the mouth of fools poureth out folly.
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
For wisdom shall enter into thine heart, And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;
A fool uttereth all his anger: But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.
Yea also, when the fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
