Proverbs 17:7

7 Faithful lips will not suit a fool; nor lying lips a just man.

Proverbs 17:10

10 A threat breaks down the heart of a wise man; but a fool, though scourged, understands not.

Proverbs 17:12

12 Care may befall a man of understanding; but fools will meditate evils.

Proverbs 17:16

16 Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischief.

Proverbs 17:24-25

24 The countenance of a wise man is sensible; but the eyes of a fool to the ends of the earth.

25 A foolish son anger to his father, and grief to her that bore him.

Proverbs 17:28

28 Wisdom shall be imputed to a fool who asks after wisdom: and he who holds his peace shall seem to be sensible.
