⁴ Those who forsake instruction will praise the wicked,
    but they who guard instruction will struggle against them.

⁷ He who keeps instruction is a child of understanding,
    but the companion of gluttons will shame his father.

⁹ He who turns his ear from listening to instruction,
    even his prayer is an abomination.

¹⁸ When there is no prophecy, the people cast off restraint,
    but as for he who guards instruction, happiness is his.
