^24 (A)Wisdom is in the sight of him who has understanding,
But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

¹⁵ The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge,
And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

⁸ He who gets ^[a]wisdom loves his own soul;
He who keeps understanding ^(A)will find good.

⁵ Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water,
But a man of understanding will draw it out.

^12 (A)The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
The Lord has made them both.

⁷ Whoever keeps the law is a discerning son,
But a companion of gluttons shames his father.
