v. 22. Understanding, proper insight and watchful discretion, is a well-spring of life unto him that hath it, a source of life and power to its possessor; but the instruction of fools is folly, their folly, serving for their correction, being a source of all possible disadvantages; for a lack of reason is its own punishment, destroying a person's own happiness.
