¹⁹ The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul:
    but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

²⁰ He that walketh with wise men shall be wise:
    but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

⁷ Go from the presence of a foolish man,
    when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

⁸ The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way:
    but the folly of fools is deceit.

⁹ Fools make a mock at sin:
    but among the righteous there is favour.

¹⁶ A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil:
    but the fool rageth, and is confident.

¹⁷ He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly:
    and a man of wicked devices is hated.

¹⁸ The simple inherit folly:
    but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

²⁹ He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding:
    but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

⁵ A fool despiseth his father’s instruction:
    but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.

¹⁴ The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge:
    but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

¹⁰ A reproof entereth more into a wise man
    than an hundred stripes into a fool.

¹⁶ Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom,
    seeing he hath no heart to it?

²⁴ Wisdom is before him that hath understanding;
    but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

²⁸ Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
    and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
