²¹ My son,^(A) do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,^(B)
    preserve sound judgment and discretion;

¹² If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
    if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.

¹⁵ Gold there is, and rubies in abundance,
    but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.

²⁶ Those who trust in themselves are fools,^(A)
    but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.^(B)
