"It is the folly of a man to hearken at the door: and a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace."
En contexte
25The 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.
26A fool will peep through the window into the house: but he that is well taught will stand without.
27It is the folly of a man to hearken at the door: and a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace.
28The lips of the unwise will be telling foolish things but the words of the wise shall be weighed in a balance.
29The heart of fools is in their mouth: and the mouth of wise men is in their heart.
