²⁴ Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding,
    but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.

¹⁵ The heart of the discerning gets knowledge.
    The ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

⁸ He who gets wisdom loves his own soul.
    He who keeps understanding shall find good.

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

¹² The hearing ear, and the seeing eye,
    Yahweh has made even both of them.

⁷ Whoever keeps the law is a wise son;
    but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
