- A fool's wrath is presently known:
but a prudent man covereth shame. - House and riches are the inheritance of fathers:
and a prudent wife is from the Lord. - A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself;
but the simple pass on, and are punished. - A fool despiseth his father's instruction:
but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. - In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin:
but he that refraineth his lips is wise. - Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
- Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
