20 One may be wise, but if his words are rejected,he will be deprived of all enjoyment.
22 When one is wise to his own advantage,the fruits of knowledge are seen in his own person.
23 When one is wise to the advantage of people,the fruits of knowledge are lasting.
24 One wise for himself has full enjoyment,and all who see him praise him.
25 The days of one’s life are numbered,but the life of Israel, days without number.
26 One wise among the people wins a heritage of glory,and his name lives on and on.
27 My son, while you are well, govern your appetite,and see that you do not allow it what is bad for you.
