- 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.
It is better to acquire wisdom rather than gold,
and more desirable to acquire understanding rather than silver. Live in harmony with one another. Do not consider yourself to be better than others, but associate with the lowly, and never be conceited.Next verse!With image
