⁵ A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

² For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

⁹ Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

⁴ Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

4 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
