Proverbs 23:9

Do not speak to fools, for they will scorn your prudent words.

The fool will not receive or appreciate your wisdom. It is like throwing pearls before pigs. Be careful with whom you share your valuable thoughts.

A fool cannot enter into the meaning of words of wisdom; he has no appetite for them, and in his self-satisfied dulness he feels for them nothing but contempt.

Application

Proverbs 22:3, 27:12 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. What are some changes we need to make on our part to be more prudent?
