⁶ 
A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none [for his ears are closed to wisdom],
But knowledge is easy for one who understands [because he is willing to learn].

¹⁰ 
A reprimand goes deeper into one who has understanding and a teachable spirit
Than a hundred lashes into a fool.^(A)

²⁴ 
[Skillful and godly] wisdom is in the presence of a person of understanding [and he recognizes it],
But the eyes of a [thickheaded] fool are on the ends of the earth.
