哈雷兔哈啦

¹⁷ The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded
       than the shouts of a ruler of fools. 
¹⁸ Wisdom is better than weapons of war,
       but one sinner destroys much good.

留心智者安靜的言語勝過愚昧掌權者的咆哮，
智慧勝於戰爭的武器，但罪人能毀滅良善。

 ¹ As dead flies give perfume a bad smell,
       so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. 

這一節是指，即便只有一點愚昧也會勝過智慧和榮耀，
因此一點點的愚昧是很可怕的。

 ² The heart of the wise inclines to the right,
       but the heart of the fool to the left. 
 ³ Even as he walks along the road,
       the fool lacks sense
       and shows everyone how stupid he is. 
 ⁴ If a ruler's anger rises against you,
       do not leave your post;
       calmness can lay great errors to rest. 

這三節似乎是比較混亂的，沒有統一的概念，
不過是嘗試說明智慧和愚昧的狀態。
