³³ 
Wisdom rests [silently] in the heart of one who has understanding,
But what is in the heart of [shortsighted] fools is made known.^(A)

¹⁴ 
The mind of the intelligent and discerning seeks knowledge and eagerly inquires after it,
But the mouth of the [stubborn] fool feeds on foolishness.^(A)

²⁴ 
The [chosen] path of life leads upward for the wise,
That he may keep away from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) below.^(A)

²¹ 
The wise in heart will be called understanding,
And sweet speech increases persuasiveness and learning [in both speaker and listener].

¹⁵ 
The mind of the prudent [always] acquires knowledge,
And the ear of the wise [always] seeks knowledge.

²⁵ 
Strike a scoffer [for refusing to learn], and the naive may [be warned and] become prudent;
Reprimand one who has understanding and a teachable spirit, and he will gain knowledge and insight.

² 
When a land does wrong, it has many princes,
But when the ruler is a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability endures.

¹¹ 
The rich man [who is conceited and relies on his wealth instead of God] is wise in his own eyes,
But the poor man who has understanding [because he relies on God] is able to see through him.
