Proverbs 18:2

A fool does not delight in discernment,

But only ^ain revealing his own heart.

Proverbs 18:15

The ^aheart of the understanding acquires knowledge,

And the ^bear of the wise seeks knowledge.

^aBy wisdom a house is built,

And by discernment it is firmly established;

And by knowledge the rooms are ^afilled

With all precious and pleasant riches.

A ^awise man is ¹strong,

And a man of knowledge strengthens his power.

For ^aby guidance you will make war,

And ^bin abundance of counselors there is salvation.

Wisdom is ^atoo exalted for an ignorant fool,

He does not open his mouth ^bin the gate.

The ways to Sheol are in her ^ahouse,

Descending to the chambers of death.

He cuts off his own feet and drinks violence

Who sends words by the hand of a fool.

Like the legs which hang limp on the lame,

So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

Like ¹one who binds a stone in a sling,

So is he who gives glory to a fool.

Like a thorn which goes up into the hand of a drunkard,

So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

¹Like an archer who wounds everyone,

So is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by.

Like ^aa dog that returns to its vomit

Is a fool who ^brepeats ¹his folly.

Evil men ^ado not understand justice,

But those who seek Yahweh ^bunderstand all things.
