    that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:

³⁵ The wise will inherit glory,
    but shame will be the promotion of fools.

⁸ Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you.
    Reprove a wise person, and he will love you.
⁹ Instruct a wise person, and he will be still wiser.
    Teach a righteous person, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁴ Wise men lay up knowledge,
    but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.
