20  ^rWhoever walks with the wise becomes wise,

^sbut the ^tcompanion of fools will suffer harm.

7  ^bLeave the presence of a fool,

for there you do not meet words of knowledge.

9  ^dDo not speak in the hearing of a fool,

for he will despise the good sense of your words.

9  ^cIf a wise man has an argument with a fool,

the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.
