9 (A)Do not speak in the [a]hearing of a fool,For he will (B)despise the insight of your speech.
9 Don’t speak in the ears of fools, for they will scorn your insightful words.
12 Bring your heart to disciplineAnd your ears to [a]words of knowledge.
12 Bring your mind to instruction, your ear to knowledgeable sayings.
23 (A)Buy truth, and do not sell it,Get wisdom and discipline and understanding.
23 Buy truth and don’t sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
