1:22 “How long will you simpletons love naiveté?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate knowledge?
11:9 With his speech the godless person destroys his neighbor,
but by knowledge the righteous will be delivered.
15:2 The tongue of the wise treats knowledge correctly,
but the mouth of the fool spouts out folly.
19:2 It is dangerous to have zeal without knowledge,
and the one who acts hastily makes poor choices.
20:15 There is gold, and an abundance of rubies,
but words of knowledge are like a precious jewel.
21:11 When a scorner is punished, the naive becomes wise;
when a wise person is instructed, he gains knowledge.
29:7 The righteous person cares for the legal rights of the poor;
the wicked does not understand such knowledge.
