⁴ Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,

¹⁶ Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither;
And as for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,

¹³ In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found;
But a rod is for the back of him that is void of ^[a]understanding.

³⁰ I went by the field of the sluggard,
And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
³¹ And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns,
The face thereof was covered with ^[a]nettles,
And the stone wall thereof was broken down.
³² Then I beheld, and considered well;
I saw, and received instruction:
³³ Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep;
³⁴ So shall thy poverty come as a robber,
And thy want as an armed man.

^6 [a]Put not thyself forward in the presence of the king,
And stand not in the place of great men:
⁷ For better is it that it be said unto thee, Come up hither,
Than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom thine eyes have seen.
