Proverbs 13:16

Every ^aprudent man acts with knowledge,

But a fool spreads out folly.

Proverbs 14:8

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way,

But ^athe folly of fools is deceit.

The simple inherit folly,

But the prudent are ¹crowned with knowledge.

Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding,

But in the midst of fools it is merely made known.

The ^aheart of the one who has understanding seeks knowledge,

But the mouth of fools feeds on folly.

Folly is gladness to him who lacks a heart of wisdom,

But a man of discernment ^awalks straight.

The ^awise in heart will be called understanding,

And sweetness of ¹lips ^bincreases learning.

Insight is a fountain of life to one who has it,

But the discipline of ignorant fools is ¹folly.

Wisdom is in the presence of the one who understands,

But the ^aeyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
