The wise hears and increases learning, and the one of understanding gets wise counsel,

Give to a wise one, and he will become wiser; teach a just one, and he will increase in learning.

Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge; but he who hates correction is brutish.

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, but the folly of fools is deceit.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your Law; yea, I shall keep it with my whole heart.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show his works out of good conduct, in the meekness of wisdom.

He who winks with the eye causes sorrow, but the foolish of lips shall be thrown down.

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips, but the just shall come out of trouble.

He who watches his mouth keeps his life; he who opens his lips wide shall have destruction.

In all labor there is profit, but the talk of the lips tends only to poverty.

The words of a wise mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow him up.

A fool's lips enter into strife, and his mouth calls for strokes.

A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
