- 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.
You shall take heed to observe the commandments of the Lord, your God, and the decrees and statutes that he has given to you. A patient man shows good sense,
but a quick-tempered man displays the height of folly.Next verse!With image
