let a wise person listen and increase learning,
and let a discerning person obtain guidance —
for understanding a proverb or a parable,[fn]
the words of the wise, and their riddles.
“Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced;
develop common sense, you who are foolish.
Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,
but a rod is for the back of the one who lacks sense.
A mocker seeks wisdom and doesn’t find it,
but knowledge comes easily to the perceptive.
The sensible person’s wisdom is to consider his way,
but the stupidity of fools deceives them.
Anyone with a wise heart is called discerning,
and pleasant speech[fn] increases learning.
Wisdom is the focus of the perceptive,
but a fool’s eyes roam to the ends of the earth.
Even a fool is considered wise when he keeps silent —
discerning, when he seals his lips.
Strike a mocker, and the inexperienced learn a lesson;
rebuke the discerning, and he gains knowledge.
Even a courageous person’s steps are determined by the LORD,
so how can anyone understand his own way?
If you say, “But we didn’t know about this,”
won’t he who weighs hearts consider it?
Won’t he who protects your life know?
Won’t he repay a person according to his work?
When a land is in rebellion, it has many rulers,
but with a discerning and knowledgeable person, it endures.
The evil do not understand justice,
but those who seek the LORD understand everything.
A rich person is wise in his own eyes,
but a poor one who has discernment sees through him.
The righteous person knows the rights[fn] of the poor,
but the wicked one does not understand these concerns.
