⁵ A wise man will hear and ^(A)increase in learning,
And a ^(B)man of understanding will acquire wise counsel,

¹³ On ^(A)the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found,
But ^(B)a rod is for the back of him who lacks ^[a]understanding.

³³ Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding,
But in the ^[a]hearts of fools it is made known.

¹⁴ The ^(A)mind of the intelligent seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on folly.

²⁴ The ^(A)path of life leads upward for the wise
That he may keep away from ^[a]Sheol below.
