Back to passage

A fool shows his annoyance the same day, but one who overlooks an insult is prudent.

The fool's talk brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.

A worthless man devises mischief. His speech is like a scorching fire.

The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam, therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out.

Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.

Don't befriend a hot-tempered man, and don't associate with one who harbors anger:

A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool's provocation is heavier than both.
