15 Ref The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
16 Ref A fool's vexation is presently known; But a prudent man concealeth shame.
17 Ref He that uttereth truth showeth forth righteousness; But a false witness, deceit.
18 Ref There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.
