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.
לְֽתַאֲוָה יְבַקֵּשׁ נִפְרָד בְּכָל־תּוּשִׁיָּה יִתְגַּלָּֽע
He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, And snarlest against all sound wisdom.
לֹֽא־יַחְפֹּץ כְּסִיל בִּתְבוּנָה כִּי אִֽם־בְּהִתְגַּלּוֹת לִבּֽוֹ
A fool hath no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may lay itself bare.
