Carrying out a wicked scheme is enjoyable to a fool, and so is wisdom for the one who has discernment.

Like tying a stone in a sling, so is giving honor to a fool.

Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Do you see someone who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Luxury is not appropriate for a fool; how much less for a servant to rule over princes!

Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
