Proverbs 21:11-13
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
11 When a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise;
when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.
12 The righteous observes the house of the wicked;
the wicked are cast down to ruin.
13 He who closes his ear to the cry of the poor
will himself cry out and not be heard.
Proverbs 21:11-13

by paying attention to the wise they get knowledge.(A)
