- A fool’s wrath is known at once,
But a prudent man covers shame. - Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers,
But a prudent wife is from the Lord. - A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself;
The simple pass on and are punished. - A fool despises his father’s instruction,
But he who receives correction is prudent. - In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But he who restrains his lips is wise. - Who is wise?
Let him understand these things.
Who is prudent?
Let him know them.
For the ways of the Lord are right;
The righteous walk in them,
But transgressors stumble in them.
May the Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He not leave us nor forsake us.
