Proverbs 17:25-Proverbs 18:8 - How Fools Live
25 A foolish son a grief to his father, and bitterness to her bringing him forth.
26 Also punishing to the just one is not good, to strike nobles for uprightness.
27 He withholding his words will shew knowledge: I man of understanding is a cool spirit
28 Also the foolish one being silent shall be thought wise: and he shutting his lips, understanding.
1 He separating himself will Seek according to desire; he will be irritated with every purpose.
2 The foolish one will not delight in understanding, but in, the disclosings of his heart
3 In the coming of the unjust also came contempt, and with dishonor, reproach.
4 Deep waters are the words of man's mouth, the fountain of wisdom a gushing stream.
5 To lift up the face of the unjust one is not good; to turn aside the just one in judgment.
6 The lips of the foolish one will come into contention, and his mouth will call for blows.
7 The mouth of the foolish is destruction to him, and his lips the snare of his soul.
8 The words of the tale-bearer as dainty morsels, and they will go down to the chambers of the belly.
