2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only (A)in expressing his opinion.
2 A fool does not delight in understanding,but only wants to show off his opinions.[a](A)
6 A fool's lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites (A)a beating.7 (B)A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
6 A fool’s lips lead to strife,and his mouth provokes a beating.(A)
7 A fool’s mouth is his devastation,and his lips are a trap for his life.(B)
13 If one gives an answer (A)before he hears, it is his folly and shame.
13 The one who gives an answer before he listens—this is foolishness and disgrace for him.(A)
