20. The mouth of the prudent is sought after in the church, and they will think upon his words in their hearts.
21. As a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool: and the knowledge of the unwise is as words without sense.
22. Doctrine to a fool is as fetters on the feet, and like manacles on the right hand.
23. A fool lifteth up his voice in laughter: but a wise man will scarce laugh low to himself.
24. Learning to the prudent is as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm.
