A scorner seeketh wisdom, and he findeth it not; the teaching of prudent men is easy.
Lighten thou mine eyes; and I shall behold the marvels of thy law.
A wise man hearing shall be the wiser; and a man understanding shall hold governance.
A faithful witness shall not lie; a guileful witness bringeth forth a leasing.
Go thou against a man a fool; and he shall not know the lips of prudence.
A man full of pestilence loveth not him that reproveth him; and he goeth not to wise men.
What profiteth it to a fool to have riches, since he may not buy wisdom? He that maketh his house high, seeketh falling; and he that escheweth to learn, shall fall into evils.
Wisdom shineth in the face of a prudent man; the eyes of fools be in the ends of earth.
A fool receiveth not the words of prudence; no but thou say those things, that be turned in his heart.
Wisdom is high to a fool; in the gate he shall not open his mouth.
Thou hast seen a man seem wise to himself; an unknowing man shall have hope more than he.
My words be just; no shrewd thing, neither wayward is in those.
They be rightful [or right] to them that understand; and they be even to them that find knowing.
It is to go to the law more rather, and to the witnessing, that if they say not after this word, morrowtide light shall not be to them.
[The] Wise men be shamed, they be made afeared and taken. For they cast away the word of the Lord, and no wisdom is in them.
But if any man guesseth, [or deem], that he knoweth anything, he hath not yet known how it behooveth him to know.
And if any of you needeth wisdom, ask he of God, which giveth to all men largely, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given to him.
