The wise in heart will receive commandments: But a prating fool shall fall.
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: But he that hateth reproof is brutish.
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; And a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
In all labour there is profit: But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: But the folly of fools is deceit.
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: But he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: But the just shall come out of trouble.
He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: But a prating fool shall fall.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Wise men lay up knowledge: But the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
