4 To give (A)prudence to the naive,To the youth (B)knowledge and discretion,
32 For the (A)faithlessness of the naive will kill them,And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
7 And I saw among the (A)naive,And discerned among the [a]youthsA young man (B)lacking [b]sense,
5 You (A)naive ones, understand prudence;And, you (B)fools, understand [a]wisdom!
4 “(A)Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!”To him who (B)lacks [a]understanding she says,
16 “(A)Whoever is naive, let him turn in here,”And to him who lacks [a]understanding she says,
15 The naive believes everything,But the sensible person considers his steps.
25 (A)Strike a scoffer and the naive may become clever,But (B)rebuke one who has understanding, and he will [a]gain knowledge.
11 When the (A)scoffer is punished, the naive becomes wise;But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
3 A (A)prudent person sees evil and hides himself,But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty.
