王不從老者之謀、乃與侍其前、偕己同長之少者議、

押沙龍和以色列眾人都說：“亞基人戶篩的謀略比亞希多弗的好。”因為耶和華定意要破壞亞希多弗的好計謀，為要降災禍給押沙龍。

你們既輕忽我的一切勸告，不肯接受我的責備；

與智慧人同行的，必得智慧；與愚昧人為友的，必受虧損。

智慧人的心向右，愚昧人的心偏左。愚昧人連走路的時候，也顯出無知；他對每一個人表現出他是個愚昧人（“他對每一個人表現出他是個愚昧人”或譯：“他稱每一個人都是愚昧的”）。

耶和華說：“這些悖逆的兒女有禍了！他們實行計謀，卻不是出於我的意思，他們結盟，卻不是出於我的靈，以致罪上加罪。

智慧人的責備在聽從的人耳中，好像金耳環和精金的飾物。

教導智慧人，他就越有智慧；指教義人，他就增加學問。

你要聽勸告，受管教，好使你將來作個有智慧的人。
