But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself.

Therefore he who is prudent will keep silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.

"Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.
