³³ Wisdom is enshrined in an understanding heart;
    wisdom is not^[a] found among fools.

² The tongue of the wise makes knowledge appealing,
    but the mouth of a fool belches out foolishness.

⁵ Only a fool despises a parent’s^[a] discipline;
    whoever learns from correction is wise.

⁷ The lips of the wise give good advice;
    the heart of a fool has none to give.

¹⁴ A wise person is hungry for knowledge,
    while the fool feeds on trash.

²² Discretion is a life-giving fountain to those who possess it,
    but discipline is wasted on fools.

⁷ Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool;
    even less are lies fitting for a ruler.

¹⁰ A single rebuke does more for a person of understanding
    than a hundred lashes on the back of a fool.

¹² It is safer to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
    than to confront a fool caught in foolishness.

¹⁶ It is senseless to pay to educate a fool,
    since he has no heart for learning.
