Proverbs 17:26 CPDV

²⁴  Prudence shines from the face of the wise. The eyes of the foolish are on the ends of the earth.

²⁵  A foolish son is the anger of the father and the grief of the mother who conceived him.

²⁶  It is not good to inflict damage on the just, nor to strike the leader who judges uprightly.

²⁷  Whoever moderates his words is learned and prudent. And a man of learning has a precious spirit.

²⁸  If he would remain silent, even the foolish would be considered wise, and if he closes his lips, intelligent.
