Proverbs 9:16
Modern English Version
16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.”
And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
Proverbs 10:13

but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.
Proverbs 24:30-34
Modern English Version
30 I went by the field of the slothful,
and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31 and it was all grown over with thorns,
and nettles covered its surface,
and the stone wall was broken down.
32 Then I saw, and considered it;
I looked on it and received instruction:
33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to sleep,
34 so your poverty will come like a stalker,
and your need as an armed man.
Proverbs 25:6-7
Modern English Version
6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
and do not stand in the place of great men;
7 for it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
whom your eyes have seen.
