²² “How long,^[a] O simple ones, will you love simplicity?
    And how long will scoffers delight in their scoffing,
    and fools hate knowledge?

⁷ Leave the presence of a foolish man,^[a]
    for you will not come to know words of knowledge.^[b]

²⁰ Precious treasure and oil are in the house of the wise,
    but the foolish person^[a] will devour them.^[b]

¹² When the clever sees danger, he hides;
    the simple go on and suffer.
