Proverbs 13:16

The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.

Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.

Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
