12
He that is not wise will not be taught: but there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness.
13
The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood: and his counsel is like a pure fountain of life.
14
The inner parts of a fool are like a broken vessel, and he will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth.
15
If a skilful man hear a wise word, he will commend it, and add unto it: but as soon as one of no understanding heareth it, it displeaseth him, and he casteth it behind his back.
16
The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way: but grace shall be found in the lips of the wise.
