1:22 “How long will you simpletons 1 love naiveté? 2
How long 3 will mockers 4 delight 5 in mockery 6
and fools 7 hate knowledge?
1:23 If only 8 you will respond 9 to my rebuke, 10
then 11 I will pour 12 out my thoughts 13 to you
and 14 I will make 15 my words known to you.
8:5 You who are naive, discern 16 wisdom!
And you fools, understand discernment! 17
9:6 Abandon your foolish ways 18 so that you may live, 19
and proceed 20 in the way of understanding.”
