In context
10 A reproof sinketh more deeply into an intelligent man than a hundred stripes, into a dullard!
11 Nothing less than rebellion, doth a wicked man seek, and, a relentless messenger, shall be sent out against him.
12 Let a bereaved bear encounter man, rather than a dullard, with his folly!
13 He that returneth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14 A letting forth of water, is the beginning of strife, therefore, before it breaketh out, abandon, contention.
15 He that justifieth the lawless, and he that condemneth the righteous, an abomination to Yahweh, are they, both.
16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a dullard? that he who is without sense, may acquire wisdom.
