'Simple' in the Bible

to give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

How long, simple ones, will ye love simpleness, and scorners take pleasure in their scorning, and the foolish hate knowledge?

For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall cause them to perish.

and I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the sons, a young man void of understanding,

O ye simple, understand prudence; and ye foolish, understand sense.

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither. To him that is void of understanding, she saith,

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither. And to him that is void of understanding she saith,

The simple believeth every word; but the prudent man heedeth his going.

The simple inherit folly; but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware; reprove the intelligent, and he will understand knowledge.

When the scorner is punished, the simple becometh wise; and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; the simple pass on, and are punished.
