⁵ Let the wise hear and ^(A)increase in learning,
    and the one who understands obtain guidance,

^15 (A)The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
    but a wise man listens to advice.

13 A wise son hears his father's instruction,
    but ^(A)a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.

^10 (A)By insolence comes nothing but strife,
    but with those who take advice is wisdom.

¹³ Whoever ^(A)despises ^(B)the word^[a] brings destruction on himself,
    but he who reveres the commandment^[b] will be ^(C)rewarded.

⁴ An evildoer listens to wicked lips,
    and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.

¹⁰ A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding
    than a hundred blows into a fool.

18 Whoever ^(A)isolates himself seeks his own desire;
    he breaks out against all sound judgment.
² A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,
    but only ^(B)in expressing his opinion.

¹³ If one gives an answer ^(A)before he hears,
    it is his folly and shame.

⁵ The purpose in a man's heart is like ^(A)deep water,
    but a man of understanding will draw it out.
