²² “How long, you ^(A)naive ones, will you love simplistic thinking?
And how long will ^(B)scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools ^(C)hate knowledge?

⁷ Leave the ^(A)presence of a fool,
Or you will not ^[a]discern ^[b]words of knowledge.

²⁰ There is precious ^(A)treasure and oil in the home of the wise,
But a foolish person ^(B)swallows it up.

¹² A prudent person sees evil and hides himself;
But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty.
