4 To give (A)prudence to the [a]naive,To the youth (B)knowledge and discretion,
32 “For the (A)waywardness of the [a]naive will kill them,And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
7 And I saw among the [a](A)naive,And discerned among the [b]youthsA young man (B)lacking [c]sense,
5 “O [a](A)naive ones, understand prudence;And, O (B)fools, understand [b]wisdom.
4 “(A)Whoever is [a]naive, let him turn in here!”To him who (B)lacks [b]understanding she says,
16 “(A)Whoever is [a]naive, let him turn in here,”And to him who lacks [b]understanding she says,
15 The [a]naive believes everything,But the sensible man considers his steps.
25 (A)Strike a scoffer and the [a]naive may become shrewd,But (B)reprove one who has understanding and he will [b]gain knowledge.
11 When the (A)scoffer is punished, the [a]naive becomes wise;But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
3 The (A)prudent sees the evil and hides himself,But the [a]naive go on, and are punished for it.
