⁵ that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning;
    that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:

³⁵ The wise will inherit glory,
    but shame will be the promotion of fools.

⁸ Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you.
    Reprove a wise person, and he will love you.
⁹ Instruct a wise person, and he will be still wiser.
    Teach a righteous person, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁴ Wise men lay up knowledge,
    but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.

²⁹ He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind.
    The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.

³ The fool’s talk brings a rod to his back,
    but the lips of the wise protect them.

¹⁶ A wise man fears and shuns evil,
    but the fool is hot headed and reckless.

²⁴ The crown of the wise is their riches,
    but the folly of fools crowns them with folly.

² The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,
    but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

⁷ The lips of the wise spread knowledge;
    not so with the heart of fools.
