24. Grace is not given to him from the Lord. For he has been deprived of all wisdom.

25. There is a wise man who is wise within his own soul, and the fruit of his understanding is praiseworthy.

26. A wise man instructs his own people, and the fruit of his understanding is faithful.

27. A wise man will be filled with blessings, and those who see will praise him.

28. The life of a man is in the number of his days. But the days of Israel are innumerable.

29. A wise man will inherit honor among the people, and his name will live in eternity.
