Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me.

Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening to me.

To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself is profitable?

Doth a wise man answer with vain knowledge? And fill with an east wind his belly?

Return, and come in, I pray you, And I find not among you a wise man.

Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart.

The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
