Because your ears were shut to my voice; no one gave attention to my out-stretched hand;

Where there is much talk there will be no end to sin, but he who keeps his mouth shut does wisely.

A wise son is a lover of teaching, but the ears of the haters of authority are shut to sharp words.

He whose eyes are shut is a man of twisted purposes, and he who keeps his lips shut tight makes evil come about.

Even the foolish man, when he keeps quiet, is taken to be wise: when his lips are shut he is credited with good sense.

Wisdom is outside the power of the foolish: he keeps his mouth shut in the public place.
