19
Education is shackles on the feet of the ignorant, like manacles on their hand.
20
Fools raise their voice in laughter, but clever people will smile subtly in silence.
21
To the prudent, education is like a gold ornament, like a bracelet on the arm.
22
The foolish enter quickly into a house, but experienced people will be ashamed to do so.
23
The senseless peer into a house through the door, but the educated will stand outside.
24
Ignorance causes people to listen through a door, but the prudent will be distressed at the dishonor of doing so.
25
The lips of strangers will report these things, but the words of the prudent will be placed on a balance.
26
Fools say whatever is on their minds, but the wise remain mindful of what they say.
27
When the ungodly curse their enemies, they curse themselves.
28
Those who whisper stain themselves, and they will be hated by their neighbors.
