²⁴ Wisdom is in the presence of one who has understanding,
But the ^(A)eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

¹⁵ The ^[a](A)mind of the discerning acquires knowledge,
And the ^(B)ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

⁸ One who gets ^[a]wisdom loves his own soul;
One who keeps understanding will ^(A)find good.

⁵ A plan in the heart of a person is like deep water,
But a person of understanding draws it out.

¹² The hearing ^(A)ear and the seeing eye,
The Lord has made both of them.
