The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways.

 

13:16     All who are prudent act with knowledge, but fools expose their folly.

14:08     The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.

14:15     The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.

14:16 The wise fear the LORD and shun evil, but a fool is hotheaded and yet feels secure.

16:17 The highway of the upright avoids evil; those who guard their ways preserve their lives.

17:24 A discerning person keeps wisdom in view, but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.

18:15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out.

19:02 Desire without knowledge is not good-how much more will hasty feet miss the

way!

20:25 It is a trap to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider one’s vows.

21:29 The wicked put up a bold front, but the upright give thought to their ways.

22:03 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

22:05 In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls, but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.

27:12 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

 

 

 

The wise listen to advice.

 

10:08 The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin.

12:15 The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.

13:13 Whoever scorns instruction will pay for it, but whoever respects a command is rewarded.

15:14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.

16:20 Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD.

19:16 Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life, but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.

19:20 Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise.

23:12 Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.

28:09 If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable.

28:14 Blessed is the one who always trembles before God, but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.

29:01 Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed without remedy.
