7 And I saw among the [a](A)naive,And discerned among the [b]youthsA young man (B)lacking [c]sense,
5 O (A)simple ones, understand prudence;And, O (B)fools, understand a heart of wisdom.
5 “O [a](A)naive ones, understand prudence;And, O (B)fools, understand [b]wisdom.

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 [a]naive, let him turn in here,”And to him who lacks [b]understanding she says,
15 The simple believes everything,But the prudent one discerns his steps.
