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