¹⁵ The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge;
    and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

¹¹ When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise:
    and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

²⁰ There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise;
    but a foolish man spendeth it up.

²² A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty,
    and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

²³ These things also belong to the wise.
It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
²⁴ He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous;
him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
²⁵ but to them that rebuke him shall be delight,
and a good blessing shall come upon them.
