| Proverbs 17 12 | Expedit magis ursae occurrere raptis foetibus, quam fatuo confidenti in stultitia sua. | It is better to meet a bear robbed of her whelps, than a fool trusting in his own folly. | Ἐμπεσεῖται μέριμνα ἀνδρὶ νοήμονι, οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες διαλογιοῦνται κακά. |
| Proverbs 17 21 | Natus est stultus in ignominiam suam ; sed nec pater in fatuo laetabitur. | A fool is born to his own disgrace: and even his father shall not rejoice in a fool. | καρδία δὲ ἄφρονος ὀδύνη τῷ κεκτημένῳ αὐτήν· οὐκ εὐφραίνεται πατὴρ ἐφʼ υἱῷ ἀπαιδεύτῳ, υἱὸς δὲ φρόνιμος εὐφραίνει μητέρα αὐτοῦ. |
| Sirach 20 17 | Fatuo non erit amicus, et non erit gratia bonis illius : | A fool shall have no friend, and there shall be no thanks for his good deeds. | None |
| Sirach 21 21 | Tamquam domus exterminata, sic fatuo sapientia : et scientia insensati inenarrabilia verba. | As a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool: and the knowledge of the unwise is as words without sense. | None |
