Proverbs 10:23 (Listen)

23 Doing wrong is jlike a joke to a fool,

but kwisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.

12 Whoever qbelittles his neighbor lacks sense,

but a man of understanding remains silent.

21 lFolly is a joy to him who lacks sense,

but a man of understanding mwalks straight ahead.

27 Whoever wrestrains his words has knowledge,

and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

5 The purpose in a man's heart is like gdeep water,

but a man of understanding will draw it out.
