¹⁶ A foolish man lets his trouble be openly seen, but a sharp man keeps shame secret.

¹¹ A foolish man lets out all his wrath, but a wise man keeps it back quietly.

¹² Hate is a cause of violent acts, but all errors are covered up by love.

¹⁹ You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

⁹ He who keeps a sin covered is looking for love; but he who keeps on talking of a thing makes division between friends.

²⁸ He whose spirit is uncontrolled is like an unwalled town which has been broken into.

³⁰ Then Saul was moved to wrath against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of an evil and uncontrolled woman, have I not seen how you have given your love to the son of Jesse, to your shame and the shame of your mother?

³¹ For while the son of Jesse is living on the earth, your position is unsafe and your kingdom is in danger. So make him come here to me, for it is certainly right for him to be put to death.

³² And Jonathan, answering his father Saul, said to him, Why is he to be put to death? What has he done?

³³ And Saul, pointing his spear at him, made an attempt to give him a wound: from which it was clear to Jonathan that his father's purpose was to put David to death.

³⁴ So Jonathan got up from the table, burning with wrath, and took no part in the feast the second day of the month, being full of grief for David because his father had put shame on him.

¹ Ahab gave Jezebel news of all Elijah had done, and how he had put all the prophets to death with the sword.

² Then Jezebel sent a servant to Elijah, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.

³³ Wisdom has her resting-place in the mind of the wise, but she is not seen among the foolish.

²² Wisdom is a fountain of life to him who has it; but the punishment of the foolish is their foolish behaviour.
