⁷ The lips of the wise disperse knowledge,
    but the heart of the foolish does not do so.

¹⁴ The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
    but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.

²⁰ A wise son makes a father glad,
    but a foolish man despises his mother.

²¹ Folly is joy to him who is destitute of wisdom,
    but a man of understanding walks uprightly.

²⁴ The way of life leads above for the wise,
    that he may depart from Sheol below.
