12He that is not wise will not be taught: But there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness.
13The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood: And his counsel is like a pure fountain of life.

15If a skillful man hear a wise word, He will commend it, and add unto it: But when one of no understanding heareth it, it displeaseth him, And he casteth it behind his back.
16The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way: But grace shall be found in the lips of the wise.
