Don’t speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.

Context

6Don’t eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and don’t crave his delicacies:
7for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
8The morsel which you have eaten you shall vomit up, and lose your good words.
9Don’t speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10Don’t move the ancient boundary stone. Don’t encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
11for their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.
12Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to the words of knowledge.
