³ With wisdom a house is built.
With understanding it is established.

⁷ Wise decisions are out of reach^[a] for a stubborn fool.
In court^[b] he cannot open his mouth.

¹³ My son, eat honey, because it is good.
Flowing honey is sweet on your palate.
¹⁴ Know also that wisdom is sweet for your soul.
If you find it, then there is a future for you,
and your hope will never be cut off.
