“Unfriendly people care only about themselves; they lash out at common sense.
Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions.
Doing wrong leads to disgrace, and scandalous behavior brings contempt.
Wise words are like deep waters; wisdom flows fro the wise like a bubbling brook.” (vv. 1-4)
“Spouting off before listening to the fact is both shameful and foolish.
The human spirit can endure a sick body, but who can bear a crushed spirit?
Intelligent people are always ready to learn. Their ears are open for knowledge.”
(vv. 13-15)
