let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance—

Let wise people listen and add to what they have learned. Let those who understand what is right get guidance.

Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance,

Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser. Let those with understanding receive guidance

let a wise person listen and increase learning, and let a discerning person obtain guidance—

A wise person will hear and increase in learning, And a person of understanding will acquire wise counsel,

A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,

That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels:

A wise[ man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

( Let the wise also hear and gain instruction, and let the discerning acquire guidance!)

that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but one who hates correction is stupid.

Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will learn more.

I am speaking as to wise people. Judge for yourselves what I say.

If you have understanding, hear this; listen to what I have to say.

Reasonable men will say to me, along with the wise men who hear me,

Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding. It is impossible for God to do wrong, and for the Almighty to act unjustly.

Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are always with me.I have more insight than all my teachers because Your decrees are my meditation.I understand more than the elders because I obey Your precepts.

While he was still speaking to him, the king asked,“ Have we made you the king’s counselor? Stop, why should you lose your life?” So the prophet stopped, but he said,“ I know that God intends to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my advice.”

Then David said to Abigail,“ Praise to the Lord God of Israel, who sent you to meet me today!Your discernment is blessed, and you are blessed. Today you kept me from participating in bloodshed and avenging myself by my own hand.
