    when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.

⁵ Oh that you would ^(A)keep silent,
    and it would be your wisdom!

² The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,
    but ^(A)the mouths of fools pour out folly.

^14 (A)A fool multiplies words,
    though no man knows what is to be,
    and who can tell him ^(B)what will be after him?

³ Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense,
    and he ^(A)says to everyone that he is a fool.
