Wisdom rests in the heart of a man of understanding, but it makes itself known even in the midst of fools.
The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.
The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
A prudent man conceals knowledge, but the heart of fools proclaims folly.
Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.
A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.
Every prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts his folly.
The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly.
