16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.
16 In everything the prudent acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts his folly.
16 A commonsense person lives good sense; fools litter the country with silliness.
16 Every prudent man acts with knowledge, But a fool lays open his folly.
16 Wise people think before they act; fools don't-and even brag about their foolishness.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 13:16
Commentary on Proverbs 13:16
(Read Proverbs 13:16)
It is folly to talk of things of which we know nothing, and to undertake what we are no way fit for.
