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