¹⁵ The heart of the prudent gets knowledge,
    and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

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

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

²² A wise man scales the city of the mighty,
    and casts down the strength of its confidence.

It is not good to show partiality in judgment.
²⁴ He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”
    him the people will curse; nations will abhor him.
²⁵ But to those who rebuke him will be delight,
    and a good blessing will come upon them.
