21:23 A fool will peep in at the door into the house: but he that is well nurtured will stand without.
21:24 It is the rudeness of a man to hearken at the door: but a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace.
21:25 The lips of talkers will be telling such things as pertain not unto them: but the words of such as have understanding are weighed in the balance.
21:26 The heart of fools is in their mouth: but the mouth of the wise is in their heart.
21:27 When the ungodly curseth Satan, he curseth his own soul.
21:28 A whisperer defileth his own soul, and is hated wheresoever he dwelleth.
22:1 A slothful man is compared to a filthy stone, and every one will hiss him out to his disgrace.
22:2 A slothful man is compared to the filth of a dunghill: every man that takes it up will shake his hand.
22:3 An evilnurtured son is the dishonour of his father that begat him: and a [foolish] daughter is born to his loss.
