A poor but wise youth [is] better than an old but foolish king who no longer knows {how to receive advice}. For he came out of the prison house to reign, {since he was born poor in his kingdom}.














Men of scoffing set a city aflame, but the wise turn away wrath.



Therefore hear the word of Yahweh, men of mockery, rulers of these people in Jerusalem: Because you have said, "We have {made} a covenant with death, and we have made an agreement with Sheol. [The] overwhelming flood, when it passes through, will not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves in falsehood."


A scoffer seeks wisdom, but there is none, but knowledge {comes easily to him who understands}.

"{How long}, O simple ones, will you love simplicity? And [how long] will scoffers delight in their scoffing, and fools hate knowledge?

The curse of Yahweh [is] on the house of the wicked, and the abode of the righteous ones he blesses. With those who scorn, he is scornful, but to those who are humble, he gives favor.
