23. A fool lifteth up his voice in laughter: but a wise man will scarce laugh low to himself.
24. Learning to the prudent is as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm.
25. The foot of a fool is soon in his neighbour's house: but a man of experience will be abashed at the person of the mighty.
26. A fool will peep through the window into the house: but he that is well taught will stand without.
27. It is the folly of a man to hearken at the door: and a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace.
28. The lips of the unwise will be telling foolish things but the words of the wise shall be weighed in a balance.
