³⁵ They will inherit the honor of the wise,
    but stubborn fools, disgrace.

¹⁰ The start of wisdom is fear of Yahweh,
    and knowledge of the Holy One,^[a] insight.
¹¹ For by me your days shall increase,
    and years of life shall multiply for you.
¹² If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
    and if you scoff, alone you shall bear it.

¹⁵ The way of a fool is upright in his own eyes,
    but he who listens to advice is wise.
¹⁶ As for a fool, on that very day^[a] he makes his anger known,
    but he who ignores an insult is prudent.

¹⁴ The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
    in order to avoid the snares of death.

¹⁶ Anyone who is clever will act with intelligence,
    but the fool will display folly.

¹⁹ A desire fulfilled^[a] will be sweet to the soul,
    but an abomination of fools is turning from evil.

⁹ Fools mock^[a] the guilt offering,
    but among the upright, it is favorable.

¹⁶ The wise is cautious and turns from evil,
    but the fool throws off restraint and is confident.
¹⁷ He who is short of temper^[a] will act foolishly,
    and the man who schemes will be hated.

²⁴ The crown of the wise is their wealth;
    the folly of fools is folly.

²⁹ He who is slow to anger has great understanding,
    but the hasty of spirit^[a] exalts folly.
