The one who commits adultery lacks sense;
whoever does so destroys himself.

I saw among the inexperienced,
I noticed among the youths,
a young man lacking sense.

Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced;
develop common sense, you who are foolish.

“Whoever is inexperienced, enter here!”
To the one who lacks sense, she says,

“Whoever is inexperienced, enter here!”
To the one who lacks sense, she says,

Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,
but a rod is for the back of the one who lacks sense.

The lips of the righteous feed many,
but fools die for lack of sense.

Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks sense,
but a man with understanding keeps silent.

A beautiful woman who rejects good sense
is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout.

The one who works his land will have plenty of food,
but whoever chases fantasies lacks sense.

Good sense wins favor,
but the way of the treacherous never changes.

Foolishness brings joy to one without sense,
but a man with understanding walks a straight path.

Anyone who ignores discipline despises himself,
but whoever listens to correction acquires good sense.

One without sense enters an agreement
and puts up security for his friend.

The one who acquires good sense loves himself;
one who safeguards understanding finds success.

I went by the field of a slacker
and by the vineyard of a man lacking sense.
