A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

Every prudent {man} dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open {his} folly. {layeth...: Heb. spreadeth}

For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice {is known} by multitude of words.

Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with {them} to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of {you}:

A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: {and} he that shutteth his lips {is esteemed} a man of understanding.

Every prudent {man} dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open {his} folly. {layeth...: Heb. spreadeth}

A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but {that which is} in the midst of fools is made known.

The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.

And as they cried out, and cast off {their} clothes, and threw dust into the air,

A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
