²² “How long will you who are simple^(A) love your simple ways?
    How long will mockers delight in mockery
    and fools hate^(B) knowledge?

⁷ Stay away from a fool,
    for you will not find knowledge on their lips.

²⁰ The wise store up choice food and olive oil,
    but fools gulp theirs down.

¹² The prudent see danger and take refuge,
    but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.^(A)
