32
If you are willing, my child, you can be disciplined, and if you apply yourself you will become clever.
33
If you love to listen you will gain knowledge, and if you pay attention you will become wise.
34
Stand in the company of the elders. Who is wise? Attach yourself to such a one.
35
Be ready to listen to every godly discourse, and let no wise proverbs escape you.
36
If you see an intelligent person, rise early to visit him; let your foot wear out his doorstep.
