24 The face of the intelligent 'is' to wisdom, And the eyes of a fool -- at the end of the earth.
25 A provocation to his father 'is' a foolish son, And bitterness to her that bare him.
26 Also, to fine the righteous is not good, To smite nobles for uprightness.
27 One acquainted with knowledge is sparing his words, And the cool of temper 'is' a man of understanding.
28 Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is shutting his lips intelligent!
