19. Instruction is as fetters on the feet of an unwise man, And as manacles on the right hand.
20. A fool lifts up his voice with laughter; But a clever man will scarce smile quietly.
21. Instruction is to a prudent man as an ornament of gold, And as a bracelet upon his right arm.
22. The foot of a fool is soon in another man’s house; But a man of experience will be ashamed of entering.
23. A foolish man peepeth in from the door of another man’s house; But a man that is instructed will stand without.
24. It is a lack of instruction in a man to listen at the door; But the prudent man will be grieved with the disgrace.
25. The lips of strangers will be grieved at these things; But the words of prudent men will be weighed in the balance.
26. The heart of fools is in their mouth; But the mouth of wise men is their heart.
27. When the ungodly curses Satan, He curses his own soul.
