¹⁶     “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense^(A) she says,

¹³ Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,^(A)
    but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense.^(B)

³⁰ I went past the field of a sluggard,^(A)
    past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
³¹ thorns had come up everywhere,
    the ground was covered with weeds,
    and the stone wall was in ruins.
³² I applied my heart to what I observed
    and learned a lesson from what I saw:
³³ A little sleep, a little slumber,
    a little folding of the hands to rest^(B)—
³⁴ and poverty will come on you like a thief
    and scarcity like an armed man.^(C)

⁶ Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,
    and do not claim a place among his great men;
⁷ it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”^(A)
    than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.
