4 to give prudence to (A)the simple, knowledge and (B)discretion to the youth—
4 To give (A)prudence to the naive,To the youth (B)knowledge and discretion,
32 For the simple are killed by (A)their turning away, and (B)the complacency of fools destroys them;
32 For the (A)faithlessness of the naive will kill them,And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
7 and I have seen among (A)the simple, I have perceived among the youths, a young man (B)lacking sense,
7 And I saw among the (A)naive,And discerned among the [a]youthsA young man (B)lacking [b]sense,
5 O (A)simple ones, learn (B)prudence; O (C)fools, learn sense.
5 You (A)naive ones, understand prudence;And, you (B)fools, understand [a]wisdom!
4 (A)“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” (B)To him who lacks sense she says,
4 “(A)Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!”To him who (B)lacks [a]understanding she says,
16 (A)“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” And to him who lacks sense she says,
16 “(A)Whoever is naive, let him turn in here,”And to him who lacks [a]understanding she says,
15 (A)The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps.
15 The naive believes everything,But the sensible person considers his steps.
25 (A)Strike (B)a scoffer, and the simple will (C)learn prudence; (D)reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
25 (A)Strike a scoffer and the naive may become clever,But (B)rebuke one who has understanding, and he will [a]gain knowledge.
11 When (A)a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.
11 When the (A)scoffer is punished, the naive becomes wise;But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
3 (A)The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.
3 A (A)prudent person sees evil and hides himself,But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty.
