²² “How long will you gullible^[a] people love being gullible?
How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing?
How long will fools hate knowledge?

⁷ Keep away from a foolish person,
since you will not learn anything from his lips.

²⁰ Good food and olive oil are stored up in the dwellings of the wise,
but a foolish person devours everything he has.

¹² A sensible person sees trouble and hides,
but naïve people keep going and pay the penalty.
