The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

A worthless man devises mischief. His speech is like a scorching fire.

For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool’s speech with a multitude of words.

The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.
