³ By wisdom a house is built;
    it is made secure through understanding.

⁷ Wisdom lies beyond reach of the fool;
    he has nothing to say in court.^[a]

¹³ My son, eat honey, because it’s good for you;^[a]
    indeed, drippings from the honeycomb are sweet to your taste;
¹⁴ Keep in mind that wisdom is like that for your soul;
    if you find it, there will be a future for you,
        and what you hope for won’t be cut short.
