King James Version with Apocrypha
"Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words."
— Proverbs 23:9, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.”
“Speak not in the hearing of a fool; For he will despise the wisdom of thy words. ”
“Don't speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.”
“Do not speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.”
“Speak not in the ears of fools: because they will despise the instruction of thy speech.”
“Say nothing in the hearing of a foolish man, for he will put no value on the wisdom of your words.”
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
