The proud speech of a fool brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.
Context
1Mwanamke mwenye hekima huijenga nyumba yake,
bali mpumbavu huibomoa nyumba yake
kwa mikono yake mwenyewe. 2Yeye ambaye njia zake ni nyofu humcha Bwana,
bali yeye ambaye njia zake zimepotoka humdharau Mungu. 3Mazungumzo ya mpumbavu huleta fimbo mgongoni mwake,
bali mwenye hekima hulindwa na maneno ya midomo yake. 4Pale ambapo hakuna mafahali, hori ni tupu,
bali kutokana na nguvu za fahali huja mavuno mengi. 5Shahidi mwaminifu hadanganyi,
bali shahidi wa uongo humimina uongo.
