¹⁵ The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge;
And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

² Also, ^[a]that the soul be without knowledge is not good;
And he that hasteth with his feet ^[b]sinneth.

²⁷ Cease, my son, to hear instruction
Only to err from the words of knowledge.

¹² The eyes of Jehovah preserve him that hath knowledge;
But he overthroweth the words of the treacherous man.

¹² Apply thy heart unto ^[a]instruction,
And thine ears to the words of knowledge.
