³⁵ The wise shall inherit glory;
But ^[a]shame shall be the promotion of fools.

¹⁰ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom;
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
¹¹ For by me thy days shall be multiplied,
And the years of thy life shall be increased.
¹² If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself;
And if thou scoffest, thou alone shalt bear it.

¹⁵ The way of a fool is right in his own eyes;
But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
¹⁶ A fool’s vexation is ^[a]presently known;
But a prudent man concealeth shame.

¹⁴ The ^[a]law of the wise is a fountain of life,
That one may depart from the snares of death.

¹⁶ Every prudent man worketh with knowledge;
But a fool flaunteth his folly.

¹⁹ The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul;
But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.

^9 [a]A trespass-offering mocketh fools;
But among the upright there is ^[b]good will.

¹⁶ A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil;
But the fool beareth himself insolently, and is confident.
¹⁷ He that is soon angry will deal foolishly;
And a man of wicked devices is hated.

^24 [a]The crown of the wise is their riches;
But the folly of fools is only folly.

²⁹ He that is slow to anger is of great understanding;
But he that is hasty of spirit ^[a]exalteth folly.
