- A fool is quick to show his anger,
but a prudent man ignores an insult. - A house and wealth are inherited from parents,
but a prudent wife is a gift from the Lord. - The prudent man perceives danger and seeks shelter,
while the simple continue forward and pay the penalty. - A fool spurns his father’s correction,
but whoever heeds admonition is prudent. - Where many words are spoken, sin is not absent,
but whoever restrains his tongue is prudent. - Let those who are wise understand these words,
and let the prudent acknowledge them.
For straight are the ways of the Lord;
the upright walk in them,
but sinners stumble. - Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
if he closes his lips, he is regarded as intelligent.
To those who seek after glory and honor and immortality by persevering in good works, he will grant eternal life. Train a child in the way he should go,
and he will not deviate from it, even in old age.Next verse!With image
