²² “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
    How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery,
    and fools hate knowledge?

⁷ Stay away from a foolish man,
    for you won’t find knowledge on his lips.

²⁰ There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise;
    but a foolish man swallows it up.

¹² A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;
    but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
