You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.

You who are childish, get some good sense. You who are foolish, set your hearts on getting it.

O simple ones, learn prudence; O fools, learn sense.

You simple people, use good judgment. You foolish people, show some understanding.

Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced; develop common sense, you who are foolish.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?

Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men,nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,
