The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who render a reason.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.
Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer my accusers.
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways and be wise,
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to every man who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you, with gentleness and fear.
