Wisdom proverbs friends enemies anger love

Pro Verbs

Speak too many words 
And you'll be sure to slip 
So choose your words carefully 
Or bite your lip 

Do not be looking 
up to wicked men 
Or show yourself craving 
to hang out with them 

To Rob and to pillage 
Is what they meditate 
Their mouth is full of trouble 
And their words with hate 

So stay away from those 
Who are easily angered 
It could rub off on you 
And put your life in danger 

If your friends are often 
In a fit of rage 
You could find yourself 
Ensnared in an angry cage 

Make your foot rare 
At the house of your friend 
Or they could have enough 
And hate you in the end 

When a foolish one speaks 
Do not reply 
Or you'll look just like him 
In some peoples eyes 
Or you could answer the fool 
If he speaks a lie 
So he doesn't feel wise 
And his arrogance rise 

If your enemy tries 
to trap you in your speech 
An answer to his question 
Might seem out of your reach 
You could say "answer this question" 
And I'll answer yours 
Or simply keeping silent 
Can be a powerful force
