Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning, and even among fools she is known.
A fool shows his irritation immediately, but a prudent person overlooks an insult.
A clever person conceals his knowledge, but the heart of a fool blurts out folly.
Everyone shrewd acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts folly.
The wicked is brought down in his calamity yet the righteous has a refuge even in death.
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
The tongue of the wise treats knowledge correctly, but the mouth of fools spouts folly.
A righteous heart thinks before answering, but a wicked mouth blurts out evil things.
For wisdom will enter your heart and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
A fool gives full vent to his temper, but a wise man holds it back.
Even as the fool walks along the way, his heart lacks sense and tells everyone what a fool he is.
