¹⁶ “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.”
    as for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,

¹³ Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment,
    but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.

³⁰ I went by the field of the sluggard,
    by the vineyard of the man void of understanding:
³¹ Behold, it was all grown over with thorns.
    Its surface was covered with nettles,
    and its stone wall was broken down.
³² Then I saw, and considered well.
    I saw, and received instruction:
³³ a little sleep, a little slumber,
    a little folding of the hands to sleep,
³⁴ so your poverty will come as a robber
    and your want as an armed man.

⁶ Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
    or claim a place among 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.
