⁷ Too much talking isn’t right for a fool;
    even less so false speech for an honorable person.

¹⁰ A rebuke goes deeper to an understanding person
    than a hundred lashes to a fool.

¹² Safer to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
    than fools in their folly.

¹⁶ Why should a fool have money
    to pay for wisdom? He has no mind.

²⁴ Wisdom is right in front of those with understanding,
    but the eyes of fools are off to the edges of the earth.
²⁵ A foolish son is irritating to his father
    and bitter to her who gave birth to him.

²⁸ Fools who keep quiet are deemed wise;
    those who shut their lips are smart.
