אֶת־פְּנֵי מֵבִין חָכְמָה וְעֵינֵי כְסִיל בִּקְצֵה־אָֽרֶץ
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; But the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
כַּעַס לְאָבִיו בֵּן כְּסִיל וּמֶמֶר לְיוֹלַדְתּֽוֹ
A foolish son is vexation to his father, And bitterness to her that bore him.
גַּם עֲנוֹשׁ לַצַּדִּיק לֹא־טוֹב לְהַכּוֹת נְדִיבִים עַל־יֹֽשֶׁר
To punish also the righteous is not good, Nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.
חוֹשֵׂךְ אֲמָרָיו יוֹדֵעַ דָּעַת וקר־רוּחַ אִישׁ תְּבוּנָֽה
He that spareth his words hath knowledge; And he that husbandeth his spirit is a man of discernment.
גַּם אֱוִיל מַחֲרִישׁ חָכָם יֵחָשֵׁב אֹטֵם שְׂפָתָיו נָבֽוֹן
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; And he that shutteth his lips is esteemed as a man of understanding.
