A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back. | A fool gives free rein to his anger, but a wise man bides his time and calms it. |
One's pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor. | A man’s pride will bring him low, but lowly souls will rise to honor. |
The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. | The fear of others will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is secure. |
