⁷ Fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge;
    wisdom and instruction, fools despise.

³² for the waywardness of the simple ones will kill them,
    and the complacency of fools will destroy them.

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

¹⁴ Those who are wise lay up knowledge,
    but to the mouth of the fool, ruin draws near.

²¹ Lips of righteousness feed many,
    but fools die for lack of sense.^[a]
