13 The knowledge of the wise
will increase like a flood,
    and their counsel is like
    a stream of life.
14 The mind[a] of a fool is like a broken jar:
    it can’t hold knowledge.

15 If those who understand
hear a wise word;
        they will praise it and add to it.
    Those who like to indulge themselves
    hear it and are displeased,
        and they turn their back on it.
