A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 29 of Proverbs. The righteous consider the cause of the poor, while the wicked do not understand such knowledge. Scoffers can ignite conflicts in a city, but the wise can calm anger. Violence between righteous and wicked people produces tensions that cannot simply be resolved through force. The section especially insists that a ruler demonstrates the quality of his government through the justice he provides to those in need.

Ein Narr schüttet seinen Geist ganz aus; aber ein Weiser hält an sich.
El necio da suelta a todo su espíritu; Mas el sabio al fin le sosiega.
L'insensé met en dehors toute sa passion, Mais le sage la contient.
Lo stolto sfoga tutta la sua ira; Ma il savio la racqueta e la rattiene indietro
O tolo revela todo o seu pensamento, mas o sábio o guarda até o fim.
愚昧人怒氣全發; 智慧人自我平息。
