⁶ The lips of a fool enter into strife, And his mouth for stripes calleth.

¹⁶ The fool -- in a day is his anger known, And the prudent is covering shame.

³ A stone `is' heavy, and the sand `is' heavy, And the anger of a fool Is heavier than they both.

²⁴ Better to sit on a corner of a roof, Than `with' a woman of contentions, and a house of company.

²⁴ Shew not thyself friendly with an angry man, And with a man of fury go not in,

²⁵ Lest thou learn his paths, And have received a snare to thy soul.

³ An honour to a man is cessation from strife, And every fool intermeddleth.

²⁹ Judgments have been prepared for scorners, And stripes for the back of fools!

¹⁹ A man of great wrath is bearing punishment, For, if thou dost deliver, yet again thou dost add.

¹⁴ The beginning of contention `is' a letting out of waters, And before it is meddled with leave the strife.

²⁷ A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips -- as a burning fire.

²⁸ A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend.

¹⁶ The wise is fearing and turning from evil, And a fool is transgressing and is confident.

³ In the mouth of a fool `is' a rod of pride, And the lips of the wise preserve them.

¹⁰ A vain man through pride causeth debate, And with the counselled `is' wisdom.

⁹ A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been angry, And he hath laughed, and there is no rest.
