²⁸ Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; When he shutteth his lips, he is `esteemed as' prudent.

⁵ Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! And it would be your wisdom.

² The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly.

¹⁴ A fool also multiplieth words: `yet' man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?

³ For a dream cometh with a multitude of business, and a fool's voice with a multitude of words.

³ Yea also, when the fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one `that' he is a fool.
