¹⁵ The lifestyle of the fool is right in his own opinion,
    but wise is the man who listens to advice.

¹⁰ Arrogance only brings quarreling,
    but those receiving advice are wise.

¹³ Anyone who despises a word of advice will pay for it,
    but whoever heeds a command will be rewarded.

⁴ Whoever practices evil pays attention to wicked speech,
    and the liar listens to malicious talk.

¹⁰ A rebuke is more effective with a man of understanding
    than a hundred lashes to a fool.

² A fool finds no satisfaction in trying to understand,
    for he would rather express his own opinion.

¹³ Whoever answers before listening
    is both foolish and shameful.

⁵ The intentions of a person’s heart are deep waters,
    but a discerning person reveals them.
